As if the news isn't frightening enough,
am I the only person who find the Vytorin ads unsettling?

The gestalt is rather nightmarish: the music is something out of a fever dream...short cadences with peculiar resolutions; the colors are out of one of those experimental films of the 1960's - or outer space, weird pastels with effusions of variegated intensity, including offensive oranges and yellow-reds; faces out of the old Thriller TV show, really scary and sick - all repressed somethings; VERY ODD parodies of food/faces and dress - sort of a metamorphosis of food to humanity - you are what you eat/look like. Disease/appearance.

Haunting...not what I need at dinner...but really, no worse than the hemorrhoid ads or feminine hygiene ads which also run during dinnertime. No wonder ratings are down.

1. I hate them, but not as much as the Viagra Hootenany!
Bunch of dudes sitting around singing about their inability to get it up. We have reached rock bottom.

5. I saw that for the first time last night.
You cannot buy anti-American propoganda like that.

Just imagine if that was broadcast all over the Middle East.

It seems as though most of us either have shaky legs or limp dicks.

And the ones that have the horny couples leaving the restaurants.

Oh, I can dig that.

I know that every time we have a fabulous meal out, we just cannot wait to get home and fuck each other's brains out.

Yeah, that's it.

8. I had forgotten completely about that.
Thanks for the reminder.

I guess.

But leave my sister out of the discussion.

OK?
