is it me?

Some TV commercials are really bothering me

     Of course the ED drugs are at the top of the list, especially the one where the couple is kissing and the announcer asks why wait....and I am thinking, "Yeah, take her right there on the blanket for the picnic with 200 people around you."  Why wait?  Because you are in public!
     The other one with the woman in the blue dress whose husband/boyfriend/lover packs his traveling pack of the little blue pill.  Really?  You can't just put it in your pocket?  And does he have to make those "I want you now" faces every time she is on camera?
     And why is it that baseball games seem to have a lot of those ads?  Are American men so incapacitated by ED?  Or do more men with ED watch baseball?
     Inquiring minds want to know.
     Another commercial that bugs me is a car ad.  A young man is driving down the road when a policeman pulls in behind him.  Eventually the policeman pulls next to him and smiles and nods, presumably because he likes the car.  But unless that policeman is driving backwards at 60 miles an hour, no way can he be sitting on the passenger side of the squad car.
     Speaking of car commercials, why do some companies show cars speeding or driving recklessly?      We don't need fast cars, we need safe drivers in safe cars and to me the industry is encouraging poor driving behavior by showing cars that are obviously going too fast.
     I know, just accept the drivel that advertisers put on the air.  But c'mon, Woody as a super hero flying through the air?  Holy cow, have we no standards?
     At least John from Mr. C's is interesting.
     And since it is the Fourth of July, there are fireworks companies in Indiana and Wisconsin advertising their products on tv.
     They should also tell you that most of those are banned in Illinois and having them can result in a $2.500 fine and/or up to one year in jail.
     So if you are pissed at your neighbor, and they are shooting off fireworks, now is the time for revenge.
