I believe commercials for products like Viagra or birth control don't need advertising and should be taken off tv. Children should not be exposed to that.

I am so sick of seeing products for ED on TV. It seems every other comercial is for an ED product! Anyone with this problem is going to ask their Dr for help without all of us having to be subjected to multiple commercials about it. And by the way, why the heck are they all sitting in bathtubs out in the woods? Separate bathtubs I might add!!! Maybe thats part of the problem. Go home and cuddle and get the heck out of your separate bathtubs on the cliff. It might put him more in the mood.

I will never understand why ad men create 'advertisements' that "SCREAM" at the watcher (listener) --- the minute one comes on I reach for the remote & hit the mute key -- I always wonder how those products sell --

If you remember a commercial because it's obnoxious the ad agency that came up with it will be encouraged. It's all about brand recognition and the name of the game is "recall".

Virtually all on the list are totally obnoxious. The ED ads, Levitra, Ciallis and particularly Viagra should be pulled from the airwaves during hours that adolescents are watching. Bernie sounds like a "shlemeil" for lack of a better word and enlisting kids to compete for the privelge of doing their ads is terrible. Billy Mays? Grab the clicker and dump him. Same with Bob and the skank.
