With the Stimulapalooza getting congressmen all the pork they needed for the fiscal year, it must be a slow season on Capitol Hill. Because, the tedious task of legislation has become fixated on the wang. From CNN:
Last month, Democratic Rep. Jim Moran introduced the "Families for ED Advertising Decency Act," which prevents erectile dysfunction and male enhancement ads from appearing on radio and television between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.Text of the bill is here. No one likes to hear any direct reference to old people fuckin', but that's why the good Lord invented the remote control to mute these commercials requiring a thorough eye-washing upon viewing.
"This [the advertisements] is an intrusion into our daily lives that I believe has become inappropriate." Moran said in an interview with CNN. "There is a saturation of the television airwaves with these E.D. ads, and they have gotten more pervasive, more blunt, and less subtle."
Of course the congressman's name is "Moran", which shows that politics is one ongoing joke designed to ruin America and all we can do is blog about it.

Personally I take offense to ALL medications being sold to me on TV. That's my doctor's job, not mine. At least the ED commercials are entertaining.
But this is why God invented the Mute button, or the channel up button. People fixate on the weirdest things.
I agree with Logically Locked - I don't want to see medication advertisements on TV. The male dysfunctional ads are particularly annoying. Yeah there is always the remote, but that only works if a responsible adult is in the room. I have seen these ads come on TV during movies or shows directed toward chilren - Why?
Bag Blog,
Because they know their target audience is there with their kids.
If you look close, you'll see most of the really stupid laws we have (in the US and really in CALIF) are becasue some knuckelhead who writes them had something tramatic happen to them one time. I'm sure this dude was really tramatized when he was watching TV with his grandchild and an ED ad came on..and he was too slow to think of what to say when the grandchild asked what ED was.
In CALIF, they pass laws like this everyday...when the law makers see something really bad, like a driver with a dog on his lap...then they had a need to pass a law banning that. I should write a blog about just stupid laws and why they were written.
God I really don't want to hear about Bob and his erections or lack thereof anymore, with all the "cute" double entendre and euphemisms for boners. They are also a bit sexist, and make it look like girls can't even resist an erect penis. Geez, get over yourselves guys.
