We're trying to eat here

So for some time now, Alan and I have been complaining about the kinds of advertising we are subjected to during dinner. Regular ads between 6:00 and 7:00 p.m. are:

Menstruation products

• Sometimes we get to see exactly how a tampon inflates and forms to a woman's vagina. How sweet and pretty it is - just like a little tulip.
• Other days we might learn how a pad's design works like that of a pinball machine.
• Too often we hear about the smelly and sticky problems associated with periods.

Men's issues

• One man has a "going" problem caused by his "growing" problem.
• One can't stop smiling about the response to his impotence medicine.

Misc.

• Some drain unclogging product, can't think of the name right now, has the gall to show an enormous hair clog being plopped onto the table of a couple in the middle of a romantic dinner.
• John Madden's Tough-Actin' Tenactin for athlete's foot. Enough said.
• But this is the all-time worst. The animated toenail fungus commercial where the fungus creature PULLS THE MESSED-UP TOENAIL away from the skin - tops them all. I still get a chill when I think about it.

Hope you weren't about to have dinner after reading this. :-)
