A bulls-eye. A hole-in-one. A home run. To a man with erectile dysfunction, all these things scream one thing: utter male potency. It is this mindset that has advertisers of ED pills reaching for any scenario into which they can plug some sexual innuendo.
Well, Virginia representative Tom Moran has had enough. The democrat has introduced a bill that would prohibit television advertisements for erectile dysfunction medication between the hours of 6AM and 10PM. The purpose of the bill is to prevent America’s children (who are all promptly in bed by 10PM every night) from being exposed to the latent sexuality these types of commercials are known for. Furthermore, it gives parents a scapegoat demon; one bad thing out of a thousand that we can say we are mitigating. Just like tobacco is the scapegoat demon for legal addictive substances, and Grand Theft Auto is the scapegoat demon for our violent behavior, we’ve now got one that covers sex in television. Thanks Rep. Moran. We were way more worried about subliminal sexual messages in ads than we were about the explicit content that makes up 75% of television programming.
