America flaunts its impotence for the world to see
The prick ads on tv are making me nauseous. Pharmaceutical companies can do whatever they want - its disgusting. Another sign of the times we are living in.

3. Its not the drugs that bother me - its the ads
Additionally I wouldn't just assume they're safe. It's only the two billion plus revenue stream that buys them into primetime. The worst part is that competition will make it a race to the gutter in terms suitability for a general audience. It seemed so weird that an exposed breast for a split second from a distance would arouse such controversy while no one in government had even a mild criticism for the "quality of erection" Cialis ad. There are any number of other more appropriate outlets for this type of advertising.

4. i thot i was only one...
maybe hyper insecurity related to takeover of common sense by idiocy- but there's more. the subway system in toronto has lots of these ads....and was wondering if they some kinda subliminal psych ops and not carnival huckster salesmanship ie k-tel taken to extreme...the public service is underfunded...
