I've always been very open to suggestion and even had to stop watching Marcus Welby M.D. in my youth because I manifested the same symptoms the morning after I viewed an episode. Now don't class me as a hypochondriac... there's a vast difference between inventing illness and mimicking one.
I thought I had a pretty good handle on that problem, but now I have to worry about the side affects of the medicines I take. You know all those things they babble at sound faster than the speed of light at the end of the recommending ad. Would you rather have RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome) or a severe gambling problem? I'm not sure. Depends on my luck, I guess.
Although I don't suffer from the condition, I'm thrilled that those with genital warts are trying to protect their partner by taking a little pill a day, but how happy will they be when their mates suffer a stroke? How about that commercial that shows someone slumbering restfully after ingesting just one little tablet? How peaceful can you sleep when complex behaviors such as “sleep-driving” have been reported by people taking the drug. I kid you not! And what about this epidemic of penile flacidity? Is that even a word? Has this always been a problem and if so, why are we forced to hear about it now?
I take medication for atrial fibrillation that comes with a warning list a mile long. I can't take over-the-counter cold medicines because I might have a stroke, and if I combine it with a certain anti-depressant, I might become suicidal. Next thing I know, I won't be able to have sex on a night with a full moon in any month beginning with J.
What happened to the days when we didn't have to hear about feminine itching, hemorrhoids and especially sexual dysfunction. Do we really want to see a couple who has that problem, see the twinkle in their eye and know their business? I don't. I'm an author and I believe in a good romance, but I like something left to the imagination. Don't you?
Good Monday morning. Helen Ginger from Straight From Hel here. I’ve tagged you with the meme “It’s All About Me.” The good news is that it’s not really all about me (or you). It’s all about blogging. I chose your blog because I think Ginger Simpson’s Blog does a great job with images. You not only have lots of pictures, you even have animated graphics! If you’d like to participate, you can see my post, with the five questions, at http://straightfromhel.blogspot.com/

Ok so I have had the biggest laugh ever this morning. I have something to add about the penile dysfunction commercials for Cyalis. Now can someone please explain why when these people are walking through orchards, walking on the beach, having a picnic, etc and they have that "look" in their eyes, how they end up in separate bathtubs holding hands? I thought the idea was to make the male functionable, not sitting in a tub in the middle of the ocean, etc.
ReplyDeleteHear, hear, Ginger. I can agree with you almost 100% on the nature of today's commercials. I think they go overboard with the personal details. Maybe they need to do their advertising on adult sites because sometimes these commercials leave little ones begging for more details. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteLatesha,
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the little ones. I'm dreading the day when I have to try to explain douching to my grandson. *lol*
