Recreational Drugs

There are some pretty smart people in advertising. They know how to get their subliminal message across. As with all medications advertised, required are the side effects that must be told about. On most parts, the side effects they inform us about are worse than the disease they are trying to cure.

Then along comes Viagra. They started off advertising this drug as basically to 'cure' an unfortunate disease that affects a lot of men around the age of 50. Then is starts advertising it subliminally as a recreational drug, showing a loving couple with a twinkle in both their eyes. Then they started showing a woman giving the man a 'come along' look and a grin. What? A woman actually showing desire on television? Heaven forbid! Now comes the disclaimer: 'If you should have an erection that lasts four hours or more, you need to see a doctor.' Yeah right! What sane woman would pass up a four hour erection? Do they actually think we would let a man near a phone or a hospital emergency room who had a four hour erection? He'd need to be treated for two broken legs. Subliminally, the message of this 'four hour erection' ploy is that the woman is hoping for a crack at that four hour window of pleasure. A drug to cure a disease? Get real! This is definitely a recreational drug plain and simple. About damned time!
