1. I was wondering about the Cialis commercial... such pretty
music, such happy people, oh me oh my it works for up to 36 hours. I know this is a serious issue for some, but to pound it daily (if I may use that phrase) into the American psyche is annoying in the extreme.

Nice touch with the faucet spraying all over the place.... sick bastards.

6. I've been wondering
what the hell is up with the people in bathtubs outdoors in those Cialis commercials?

8. Should be more like this, a guy in a tub, chasing a girl
in a tub... more like the real world... :)

7. I hate the Cialis commercials because they imply that all women
need to be wooed for hours and hours and hours before the deed can be done, which is pure BS.

3. That makes no sense. Men get struck by lightning more because women are smart enough...

to come in out of the rain during a thunder storm.

Is this commercial saying that women are stupid, but god hates men?


Or that women know they're immune to lightning and can afford to take risks?

4. Not really
But it's a bad commercial, almost as bad as SalesGenie.com's "Rasheed & His 7 kids" that ran during the Super Bowl.

5. No.
I think it's a hell of a stretch to call that sexist. It's just silly.

9. I wouldn't call it sexist so much as "inane"
:rofl:
