Those Cialis commercials crack me up.
As if those couples would rather go upstairs to have sex while it's broad daylight outside instead of wait until nighttime.:)

16. Oh, we did it outside in a field... right close to visitors, too... until the miller caught us...
Right in front of THIS place... and we didn't need Cialis.

Recognize it?

17. Let me tell you something, my husband got one of those painful...
"four hour erections" (due to a test his urologist did on him). I had to hold his hand for more than an hour, while he whimpered in pain. We had to go back to the office for the pharmacological "reversal"... Not something to mess around with.

19. I never understood ...
why drugs like this are sold in an overpopulated world. Yes, there are cases where it may be genuinely needed, but selling them on tv between the honey nut cheerios and re-finance your home commericials is just bizarre.

21. Well, people like to f*** -- it feels good. All pharma ads are to get the public to ask their
doctors for the medicines. It's working, too.

Advertising budgets for the "erectile disfunction" crowd are in the millions. That's one of the reasons our drugs are so expensive.

I used to work for big pharma. They want you to think they're doing lots of research with these dollars. But one of their biggest expenditures is simply ads like Cialis, Lunesta, Ambien CR, etc. etc.

Kids probably don't understand the ads, unless they ask their parents. My six year old grandson asked me what E-D- was. I had a hard time explaining!!!!!!!

34. iirc, the first times I saw Cialis ads I didn't know what they were selling...
Edited on Thu Dec-07-06 10:18 PM by QuestionAll...
Nothing was concretely mentioned that it was for ED.

but talking about drugs and commercials, etc., and how we are so conditioned to run for too often needless pill ...
a commerical a while back, think it was Nexus - Nextrom or something like that - purple pill - for heartburn.

This guy is seated at a dinner table with gravy pouring on his mashed potatoes and other greasy unhealthy tastey stuff piled on his platter. Graphic was nails and thumb tacks pouring out of the gravy bowl onto his plate...

Don't you think it would be normal to avoid foods that don't agree with you? NO! you just take a pill, that'll fix you up. You go and have anything you want (in this 'land of the free' ) even tho your body is warning you to wise up.

...of life-threatening ailments, but the thing they're most upset about is that little Mr. Pinky won't come out to play anymore.

"I knew that having Bubonic Plague can cause high blood pressure, coronary occlusion, brain damage and necrotising fasciitis, but when my doctor told me it might also cause ED, I shat myself."

28. Yes, the list of side effects is pretty intimidating... but kind of funny. Want to see it?
Cialis is available by prescription only and is not for everyone. Men taking nitrates, often used for chest pain, or certain alpha-blockers for prostate problems or high blood pressure, should not take Cialis. Such combinations could cause a sudden, unsafe drop in blood pressure.

Men should discuss their health status with their doctors to ensure Cialis is right for them and that they are healthy enough for sexual activity.

The most common side effects with Cialis were headache, upset stomach, delayed backache and muscle ache. Although rare, men who experience an erection for more than four hours should seek immediate medical attention. Men should not drink alcohol in excess with Cialis. Cialis studies were not designed to assess multiple intercourse attempts after a single dose.

I'm getting sick of those commercials. It's like they want us to have sex on our minds all the time.

I mean, sex on the mind all the time will distract us from the very fucked up world we are living in under Bush....

I'm not interested in sleeping with any of the guys in my department. :)
