I don't know about you, but I have had it with TV commercials.  I'm specifically referring to the very personal ones:  viagra and the pill you can take to have a shorter period.  Do you think these commercials should be shown during time slots where young children (even young teens) may see them?  For that matter, should they even be allowed on TV?  I think we're interferring with nature when we produce these kind of pills. More so, it's embarrassing to have one of these blurbs come on during family time viewing.  What do you think?

I can just imagine a family seeing the viagra commercial on tv & the kids asking Mommy & Daddy why the man is smiling so much(his wife too).I'd LOVE to hear how they'd answer,lol!
But I believe these stations should be careful on the airtime they allow these products.(& how often)

Hmmm...think about this:  they have a pill to make a man "work" and a pill to make a woman "stop".  Just goes to show you, we women are just go, go, go and the men are the ones who can't seem to get up for work (pun intended..tee hee)

I agree that these commercials are getting offensive.  But, I've seen one that just cracks me up!  I've only seen it late at night, which is probably a good thing.  At first I thought it was a joke, but I've seen it a few times since then....
 
It's from EPT - the pregnancy test people. The commercial starts by talking about how technologically advanced their product is, and the tag line is:  "EPT - the most advanced technology you'll ever pee on."

I totally hate those Viagra commercials.  The LAST thing my husband needs is Viagra!
 
I do like that new commercial with the lizards dancing with the "grills" in their mouths.  I think it's a commercial for some kind of vitamin water.

Personally, I think that any commercials that are advertising script medicines should not be allowed.  The US and one other country are the only ones that allow it.  The pill manufacturing companies get more than enough moneys as it is.
 
As far as those for intimate items (or intimate personal items) should not be allowed on television until after 10 p.m.

I don't believe children should be seeing these at all. I wish I didn't have to see these either. LOL! I am also sick of the Kotex, bra, personal hygiene sprays commercial.

Actually if I had little kids today the only TV station I would tune in for them would be PBS.   That's all my kids had when they were growing up and believe me they found plenty else to do.

Interesting question, Angelbear.  I don't think they should be allowed on TV when children (including younger teens) might be watching.  No one seems to gripe about them being on, yet everyone I've ever talked to is very much against them.  The other day they had a thing on TV regarding the anti-Meth ads and how the public appreciated the campaign, but asked that certain ones NOT be shown until later in the evening.  Some think they're too frightening.  HELLO????  That's the whole point!!  I think their ads are very effective and leave a lingering message in one's memory, therefore being very successful.  Parent's don't want their kids seeing the Meth ads, yet no one has ever complained about the Viagra or period pills or other very personal items.  Aren't we a quirky society!

Quirky? I'll say!
 
We're STILL embarrassed to discuss sex with our teens, consider preteens too young to even think & ask questions about these natural functions (God Forbid they should have an idea of whats going on) and as mentioned, want the very ads made to help deter drug use put on when children won't see them.
 
 
And then we wonder why they make some of the ill informed, bad judgements they make. I'm all for starting early, being honest and explaining everything/ ANYthing in an age apprpriate manner. Knowledge is power.
