Why do they need to do all that, when they could just show the patient a pic of Hillary. Should cause instant deflation.

Yes, the infamous "beefareeno" episode. Loved that one.. Hilarious!
I don't know who's running these ad agencies, but they need to clean house. Most of their ideas are either tired, boring, or flat out distasteful. In my opinion they couldn't sell a glass of ice water to a man dying of thirst. I make it a point *not* to buy some of their products that they're hawking if the commercial turns me off.
Calling Darrin Stevens!!!!!
They didn't watch ANY of the rehersals? I don't believe that. The "teat" stunt was only one aspect of the abasing conduct. One imbecile was fondling his privates incessantly.
If they had fraud perpetrated upon them they should sue. Anything else is just scape goating IMO.
Yes.
Between Viagra, Levitra and now Cialis it would appear there is some "stiff competition."
Personally I like the generic name for Cialis - Tadalafil. "Ta-Da"
By subscribing to cable ot satellite, you keep Viacom in business. You are paying them to show this stuff. Cancel your cable/satellite and insist that Viacom channels be made optional. It won't take long.
Doesn't Michael Jackson own big shares of Viacom? (I vaguely recall that he did at one time.)
guess they got buried already.
The "boob incident" was designed to detract attention from these other outrages, which have now been mainstreamed as they pale in comparison, sort of.
Ah, for the good old days of people ragging on Dan Quayle because he criticized "Murphy Brown". How far we have come!
That's kind of a loaded question to ask a 47 year old single woman....:)
Seriously though, these commercials are crossing the line. If there is, in fact, a line that even exsists anymore. I think all "lines" have been erased little by little over the years. We're living in an "anything goes" society, and I'm sick of it.
My favorite part of that commercial was when they got to mentioning the side effects. (paraphrasing) "Delayed lower back pain"! LOL! I'm not a man, but I would imagine that if one were to take full advantage of an erection lasting many hours, a delayed lower back pain would indeed result!
I'm with you. As much as I love 'em, I won't touch another Carl's Jr. burger until Hugh Hefner is off their ads. I made a point of it not to go to Midas for a needed muffler repair after that nauseating bit where a septugenarian woman stripped her blouse off. I don't have to swear off Clairol Herbal Essence shampoo because I am not a woman, but if I was, I would.
Have you seen the new Extra! Sugar Free gum commercial with that stick of gum shouting with a Scottish accent? What kind of drugs was the author of that spot on?
Go ahead and test me -- I'll match my knowlege of the game of football up against anyone on this board, including you.
How can you even say that? You show your ignorance right here. So, I guess the 1985 Bears should have never won, right?
The 1985 Bears were a solid team in all areas of the game, and a thoroughly dominant team in several key areas. They had the sixth-ranked offense in the NFL that year (#1 rushing), and the top-ranked defense as well (despite playing the entire season without former Pro Bowl safety Todd Bell, who sat out the season in a contract dispute and whose absence wasn't even noticed). They sent nine players to the Pro Bowl, and their front seven may have been the best unit ever to play the game (they could end up with as many as five Hall of Famers among them).
Their well-balanced offense (both QB Jim McMahon and RB Walter Payton were Pro Bowlers) and dominant defense were complemented by solid special teams play, too -- kicker Keven Butler was one of the most underrated players at his position throughout his career, since he put up solid numbers despite kicking half the time in one of the worst places in the NFL for kickers.
A team that goes through three rounds of the NFL playoffs and gives up a total of 10 points to opposing teams (all of them in their 46-10 victory over New England in the Super Bowl) will never have to justify its place in NFL history.
The last 5 or 6 years have been the most competitive football that we have ever seen. But, you must be one of those who wants the same three teams win every year.
That may be true, but it has nothing to do with what I said about the quality of play in the NFL. The last 5 or 6 years have also seen a number of "incomplete" championship-caliber teams (which is why I said that neither team in yesterday's game would have made the playoffs in pre-cap days), as well as a disturbing number of teams whose performance in the Super Bowl accurately reflected the harsh truth that they had no business playing in the Super Bowl in the first place (the Giants in 2001 and the Falcons in 1999, in particular).
If you taped the game, check out the Cialis ad voiceover. In that part of the commercial in which they do the disclaimer about side effects (dry mouth, diarrhea, etc.), the announcer says something about "although four-hour erections are rare, if one occurs, contact your doctor."
I gotta wonder if that was written that way to highlight the effectiveness rather than issue a warning.
