34. So it would seem, only reason I don't have a problem w/this ad is because I'm "conditioned" not to.

My wife, apparently, too. Her poor porn-befuddled brain. Conditioned! To Believe!! that this!!! Is!!!! Funny!!!!!



Yes, yes... using porn to sell drain cleaner! why would they DO that, if not because of a scary galactic space patriarchy foully trying to penis-ify everything! DRAIN CLEANER, FOR GOD'S SAKE!

Um, except, maybe the reason they use porn to sell drain cleaner is the same reason they use ducks and geckos to sell insurance.. because insurance, like drain cleaner, is not in and of itself all that fucking interesting.

And yes, if you don't think sex is inherently any more "harmful" than ducks, or geckos, then the ad's really not that big of a fucking deal.
