The Viagra commercial with the blonde.

It made me giggle at first; now it just triggers my gag reflex. I thought hubby would accuse me of being jealous, but even he now hits the mute button and mumbles "Oh, Please... "

The whole scenario seems to whisper "Gold Digger!" (I keep picturing her with a 99 year old billionaire, mentally adding up the value of his yacht and mansion as she doles out the little blue pills.)

I guess I need a good therapist to tell me exactly why I find this commercial so offensive.

Anyone care to analyze me?

I can't stand it, either. But I'm not picturing the 99-year-old millionaire, just lots of sad guys who think if they pop that little blue pill (or is it purple?) they'll land a hot blonde sex kitten... with some sort of accent.

Mathew, do you need us to throw you a charity event? Movies don't pay what they used to??

in the US was almost verboten... now, every time you turn the TV on, you see Matthew McConaughy, Rob Lowe, Samuel L Jackson, Kaley Cuoco, etc. And, not just Super Bowl commercials.

And not to take away from her beauty, but those are the types of guys I picture rushing out to get the prescription because they just know once they hit the single's bars, she will be waiting.

Oh, I SO love him!! (I have a stuffed snowman I named Mr. Miyagi, and under the zipper that holds the battery - he plays music - I put a picture of him, in his memory, after he passed.) Wow. Now I really need therapy!!

I had the great displeasure of having to consult a urologist some years ago.

First, there was Faux News on in the waiting room. I almost walked out.

Then, I had to wait over 30 minutes in the cold exam room for the doc to show up.

While I was waiting, I heard the doc go in the exam room next door and
ask the male patient how his Viagra was working for him. Just great, doc,
man, it's just great.

In the rewritten recollection of that incident, I get up, walk out and knock
on the exam room door next door. When the doc opens it, I tell him
"Fuck you, Fox News, and your greed that means you don't pay
to soundproof the exam rooms. And (to the patient) by the way, I hope your dick
falls off, you old horn dog.

And then I walk out.

So much for fantasy, huh? I stayed to see the doc but swore I'd never go back.

And the latest one is just over the top.

Whenever I see these things I think of all the women who need oral contraceptives for many serious, medical reasons, yet can't get them, while shit like Viagra seems to be handed out like Halloween candy.

She doesn't look much older than her mid twenties if that. How could she know so much about viagra or erectile dysfunction? Most guys in her age group wouldn't need it. The scene does suggest she's maybe a gold digger. The likelihood of a woman who looks like her of being with an ordinary 60 year old man with no money is probably pretty small, although I suppose it could happen. Maybe she has a daddy complex.
