Now the lawmakers want to ban Erectile dysfunction Ads?????

Like we have nothing else we need to concentrate on!!

http://amfix.blogs.cnn.com/2009/05/07/erectile-dysfunction-ads-too-hot-for-tv/

You’ve all seen them. Those ubiquitous TV ads where a simple little pill transforms a man suffering from erectile dysfunction, or ED, into a virile tiger who puts a smile on the face of his now beaming wife.

Well, Representative Jim Moran (D-VA) has seen them too, and you’d be hard pressed to see a smile on his face when he talks about the ads.
“A number of people,” he says, “have come up, including colleagues, and said I’m fed up. I don’t want my three or four-year old grandkid asking me what erectile dysfunction is all about. And I don’t blame them.”

With all the limp d***s in Washington, I could see why they are jealous.

Wait until the Boston Method starts advertising on TV...






(I only know of said Method because they opened a clinic next to Sue's office, and we had to research who was moving in)

Personally I wish ALL of the drug ads were pulled. Whoever heard of restless leg syndrome until there was a drug to cure it.

Well, if they are going to outlaw ED drug ads then they should stop lawyers from placing TV ads as well, they are equally repugnant.

Just another example of govt going way too far overboard with there influence.

Not at all like someone going overboard about a single representative posting a singe bill, being discussed on an internet blog...

What are you saying? Do you think that others posting their opinions, puns, etc. here about this ridiculous bill is "going overboard?"

Or is this guy one of your favorite Congressmen... and/or do you have a problem with the ads, too?

I have a problem with the ads where the women complain about being irregular. I also have a problem with the commercials where the mucus is stereotyped as fat American tourists.



I also have a problem with the blogs that spread useless rumors and chatter about something like this. I mean, does anyone still remember how many of these silly little things get put on the floor, only to die a miserable death later one? Does anyone really HONESTLY think that the feds are going to ban ED commercials?? Did you even READ the Bill, or any of the other 23 Bills that were put before the Committee? Someone called this Rep up, begged for a Bill, and he took (literally, read the thing) about 45 seconds to type it up and hand it in. It gave him a vote next election, and won't hurt anyone in anyway. It's not like he's taking time away from something *important* on the Hill.

I'm inherently against government intervention here, but maybe we ought to be looking at OURSELVES as a society of fat, lazy, limp-*****slobs demanding painless, instant-gratification "quick fixes" for everything that ails us first and foremost.

If we address the problems of US, there's no longer any demand for this crap and it goes away on its own.

But yes, the over-prevalence of drug ads (particularly the "give yourself a 4-hour stiffy" ads) on television is annoying - not that I watch it that much anyway, just sayin'...

Ultimately, we reap what we sow...

A reason to stop going to work. Seriously. It's even more serious than "chronic fatigue syndrome".

Hey I love the one about if you have a woody for more than four hours be sure to go to a hospital, I laugh everytime I see it. Then my wife takes my wine away.

The commercial around here that I hate, really hate is the ADT Home Security thing. It always shows two fairly clean looking white guys breaking into a house they can see someone in. Now tell me that is going to happen. I want to call them and tell them I would like their product but we don't have a lot of white burglers around here, will it stop other races?
