Advertisers take note

Commercials on television have always been annoying, either by content or simply because they interrupted my show. But lately, there are two that go beyond annoying if for no other reason than they are beyond retarded.
Viagra: Okay, I get it. Way too many men have erectile dysfunction and your product swears that it can help these poor guys. Okay, that's well enough. However, if I had taken your product and gotten an erection, would I truly want my lovemaking to be in a ceramic bathtub? Nope, damned things are cold and hard. And besides, what good would it do me to have myself and erection in one bathtub while my lover is in a different bathtub? Just how long do you think you can make a penis, anyway?? Get a grip, Viagra!
Dulcolax: In my 58, almost 59, years of living I've had occasion to take this product and I can vouch that it works just fine. However, I have never taken a stool softener and then thought "what a great day to be in a boat in the middle of a lake". Hello! The only place I want to be after using a product like this is close to a bathroom so I can get rid of some waste! I hope nobody swims in that lake those people are on!
Ford: I have written before about the Ford vehicle with Synch, a Microsoft product. I wouldn't trust any part of an automobile, not even a Ford, to be controlled in any way by a product made by Microsoft. However that is besides the point here. What gets me about this commercial is when they show the inside of the car. There, in plain sight sits a lovely piece of equipment that looks exactly like an APPLE IPOD! Couldn't the geniuses at the ad agency have had enough brains to at least use the MICROSOFT ZUNE? LOL
Okay, I feel much better now that I got that off my chest :)
