This is pretty gross....

[tinroofrusted]

But does anyone else get a little weirded out by those "colon cleansing commercials?"

I mean it's like... can they find normal people to advertise this stuff or what?

Freaky....

[SinkingFast]

I don't care for ANY of the personal hygiene commecials.

I don't want to hear about erectile disfunction, or vaginal odor, or genital herpes, or any of that stuff.

Yet every day, it comes parading into my home, via TV commercials.

BLECH!!

I can think of a few more I can't stand, but I'm still eating breakfast.

It's almost lunchtime now....

and....the one that drives my boyfriend crazy nuts is the tampax commercial where the boat's leaking and the girlfriend plugs up the leak with the tampon...

[Minnymouth]

Yeah, "their scraping the bottom of the barrel" when they start advertising some things................

What gets me is all the commericals for womens undies, and all men in the commericals are "dressed"............. how convenient huh!!!!!

You don't see too many men advertising thier "shorts"...............!!!! Only Hanes guys................

Kids see some of the commercials and start asking "whats herpes? whats a tampon? whats erectile disfunction??

You got answers for a 5 year old????

That's exactly the one I thought of when I saw this post.

This is worse than the ads for "Girls Going Wild" videos.

Then there's those commercials where you can't even figure out what they're advertising.

And what's up with all of the scantily clad women? What's the advertising theory on this one--we all know that sex sells, but why is it one sided?

When my niece was 4 years old, my sister went upstairs to lie down for a headache and stomach ache. Later she came to her daddy and said you should get mommy the purple pill. So my brother-in-law went upstairs to ask what she wanted, and then asked my niece where she came up with since my sister didn't know what she was talking about--she said she saw it on a commercial!

How about leaving a 4 year old watching a show on Discovery Health Channel and after it comes a live child birth at 10 in the morning.

"Mommy, you know what happened to that woman!! They broke her back in half to get the baby out!" She went on and on and started asking questions and more questions. Finally my sister got so flustered she had to tell her to ask her daddy when she got home.

You don't expect to be answering these questions so young.

And while we're going this way (albeit off topic)--how does a 5 year old even know what sexy means and says she needs to be it to attract another pre-schooler?

The erectile commercials are what I hate. You would think that because I'm a man, I might not be bothered by them. Well, because I'm in a good mood today and feeling like being funny, the part of these commercials that make me wonder is if an erection last more than 4 hours, seek immediate medical attention. SCREW THAT! I'M GOING TO GET BUSY AND HAVE SOME FUN!

Might as well right? How many opportunities will come up for an afternoon like that?!

Since that wasn't enough of a warning, check it out now:

Although erections lasting for more than four hours may occur rarely with all ED treatments in this drug class, to avoid long-term injuries, it is important to seek immediate medical help.

That will get you to think twice!

[jane taylor]

The "natural male enhancement" commercials crack me up with all the phallic symbols!

And I really want to turn off the TV when the Victoria's Secret models are advertising underwear (or as we say, "drawers!") They are more than half nekkid!!

I am not all that modest, but no way did I want a film crew in the delivery room with me!! Give me an epidural and get the doctor!

[BassBoy]

The film crew? Heck, my 6 yr. old son (at the time) wanted to be in the room during the birth of our second son. He didn't understand why and I didn't know what to say. On boy, did the questions come in bunches. Every few minutes it was, "Daddy, how did the baby get out of Mommy's tummy?" I was completely dumbfounded and didn't how to put it. But you can't ignore them because they'll jsut keep asking.

But anyways............

[Bobby'sGirl]

This could go here or in the funny kid's sayings posts

All three of mine were planned C-sections for health reasons. My 4 year old son explained to a friend "My sister will come out of Mommy's tummy the same special way I did: the doctors put in a zipper to get me out!!!" Should have been that simple, huh?

Oh, geesh!!! The nurse in me wants to lecture you 2 on what will happen if you ignore seeking help for that 4 hour erection The human in me wants to say yeah man I am going to enjoy it while it lasts


edit: Whoops, guess I should have read the rest of the thread before getting on my soap box, to see that you have been warned Erections lasting longer than 4 hours can cause "Mr Happy" to lose his blood supply, and basically die. Just in case anyone really wants to know.
