I remember back when I was a kid and was embarrassed when a kotex commercial came on in 'mixed company'.     What does anybody think obout those commercials for 'extenze'........?????   The best explanation for the product would be a combo for viagra and miracle grow.    I am just wondering if anybody else is bothered by it.   At a Sunday dinner, my brother had a baseball game on and the sound was very loud, and that fricken commercial came on...............why in the hell would something be advertised at dinnertime on a Sunday?

I saw that commerical a couple of days ago and nearly fell off the couch! I actually had to "rewind" the DVR because at first I was like, "no way!"  I think that in today's society we do enough explaining to our children, about sex, std's, and other things, without having a commerical air during Sunday afternoon TV, for a product such as this.  At least with Cialis and other male stimulant commericals, they aren't that understandable to young children.  I agree with you Angie!

Well Angie, the short and simple answer is because sex sells. I agree with both of you, there is no reason for this to be on TV. I saw it a few weeks ago on TV at our gym. There were several kids around and the TV was on a sports channel of some description. I couldn't believe my ears and from the look of things neither could anyone else within earshot.

I forgot something I intended to ask in my above post. On the subject Angie brought up about the Kotex commercials, I don't know anything about those as I'm not old enough to remember (NO Angie, I'm not calling you old! ). But I DO know about the current Always brand commercials. Their slogan irritates the crap out of me. "Have a happy period", do you know of ANY woman who has a HAPPY period?! Unless you're scared you might be pregnant or a girl just starting out I REALLY don't think so!

I'm wondering now that if this product is safe............I wonder if it could have cardiac, renal or other complications.   I'm sudenly remembering an episode of True Blood when a kid had a case of priapism <sp> when he was experimenting with vampire blood.  Hey the series is gonna restart again soon.   Yippie.

Yeah Angie, that commercial is kinda gross. Is that the one with "BOB". there's this whstling music in the bcakground and he's all happy cause he's got a boner.Stupid. My Mom was dying one day when the viva viagra commercial came on. She was flabbergasted. Her response was"Oh, they are retarded, singing about Viagra!" LOL!!! Imagine how people of that generation feel? If we're horrified, you know they are.

If you think the commercials are bad have you watched some of the cartoons on TV now days?  I'm glad my kids are teens.

I agree Sarah, they are very stupid commercials,, and Bob is a goober. What is funny about Bob is that he takes whatever medication that is for his sexual drive and the commercial shows that he also becomes a better swimmer, golfer and even a race car driver. How absurd.


I personally am upset at the beer commercials. I think it is very unethical to have beer commercials that show people drinking, partying and generally getting drunk and then to have a disclaimer that says "drink responsibly". They took cigarette commercials off the air because smoking is harmful, they took hard liquor commercials off because it is harmful....now why not the beer commercials.

I saw it again this morning!!!! I just had to chuckle....he was dressed up as Santa Claus. 


It is very true about your comment John in regards to beer commericals, Nascar is no longer Winston Cup, because they didn't want a tobacco company sponsoring  sport, as it is now Nationwide Series instead of Busch. They thought it be irresponsible for Busch to sponsor that sports series.  I think that if you are going to stop one kind of ad, then all those others must stop as well.  I am for it, my husband was hit by a drunk driver and was seriously injured earlier in his life, and now has problems that can never be fixed.

Yes he did a commerical about ED.  It was aimed at those men, whom like Bob Dole suffered from ED due to prostate cancer, radiation, so forth.  He apparently got alot of backlash for it as well, from those who think he should have spoken out about differently about prostate cancer, not just do a commerical. 


Yes.....Angie....Britney did a Pepsi commercial that featured Bob Dole.  At the end of the commerical he is sitting in front of the TV with his dog. 


LOL...you don't watch too much TV!
