In recent radio advertisements in the Washington, D.C., area, a local erectile dysfunction clinic has found in the troubled financial situation a reason to seek the clinic’s services. The advertisement says that in these difficult times, you need “intimacy” more than ever. The unspoken follow on is that apparently you can’t have “intimacy” without a great big throbbing, well, you get the picture.
So how about some other ad slogans linking the economy and ED:
Times are hard and you’re not.
Need a new stimulus package?
Are you as soft as the economy?
The job market isn’t the only thing shriveling up.
Mortgage loans and you: both subprime.
Shafted: the economy yes, you no.
The economy limps along, and you’re just limp.
The difference between you and the stock market? The stock market occasionally rises.
You and your portfolio, both shrinking.
Interest rates rise, interest rates fall. You just fall.

I am beginning to believe that this is the closest to the nanny as we will get. The great thing about these commercials is that they have taken classic songs, and warped them...nothing like walking down the street and having a 10 year old sing...'Viva Viagara.'
ReplyDeleteCranky seems hard up for commentary these days.
ReplyDeleteNow all you need to do is to get the "invigorated" lawmakers to approve payment of birth control pills for women since they approved Medicare payment for good ole' Viagra for their own "softening" economies.
