So, all was quiet in my house and I decided to watch a little uninterrupted TV. AMC was showing Stripes and I decided to snuggle up in bed, eat a Rice Krispie treat and watch a little tube. It’s 11:48 on a Saturday night and I have no life.
Anyhoo, I’m watching and enjoying and suddenly realize the commercials have a errr…similar theme.
Erectile dysfunction.
Now, I’m a nurse. I’ve worked in a physician’s office and know this is a common problem. I’m sympathetic. It’s a big deal for men.
At first it was just commercials for Viagra…then Levitra…then Cialis. All of which show middle aged couples slow dancing, holding hands, being romantic. I get it.
Smilin’ Bob comes on and he’s just giddy.
The ExtenZe couple come on and they’re just annoying. No one is that excited about it. Seriously.
But then came a commercial that made me throw up in my mouth a little.
A company called Erectmed,(oh yes, you read that correctly, ERECTMED) has a product called Pos-t-vac. And with the part being vac…as vacuum…you can imagine where I’m going with this. A vacuum, and no it’s not for cleaning up the crumbs off the kitchen floor, people.
And during this lovely commercial there were numerous creepy old men who said things like “You can be all you want to be” and “If you have a brain in your head, you will call and order this product right this minute.”
Really…”If I had a brain in my head”…I would have realized that the demographic for the AMC channel was for men 40-90 years old who are obviously not getting any and are up late on Saturday night pondering the miracle for their manhood.
Unlike me, who just wanted to stay up late by myself, enjoy the peace and quiet and not have to put out.
Seriously.
