Wait, seriously?
Jan. 24th, 2008 06:53 pmOkay, so call me kind of a prude, but I've always had issues with the Viagra-type prescription commercials (I have issues with the medication commercials period--but I won't get on that soap box right now).
There was a commercial just now, at 6:52 pm, for Levitra, a medication for erectile dysfunction.
Seriously--during the evening news?
I would have been one of those three year olds who would have turned to Mom and said "Mom, what's he mean? What's ED? What's an erection? Does it happen to everyone? Why not? Why do you have to call the doctor if it lasts four hours? How long is it supposed to last? Is three hours okay? What about two? How come there's medicine to make you get one if you don't want one that lasts a long time? Why isn't it good if it lasts a long time? Why have one at all?"
I hope the people who make these commercials and air them during the news have small children.
.....Why yes, I work with children. Why do you ask?
(In other news, while teaching today I was talking to a group of students about a project and went to put lotion on my hands--only to discover I had picked up my water bottle instead. This only bears mentioning because I didn't notice I had done so until I found myself with a handful of lemon flavored water.)
