I like it. I'm sick of seeing those ads come on t.v. and I'm watching with my kids or mother or elderly aunt. I have no problem with the ads, I just don't think they should be on during what used to be family hour. I was watching an episode of L & O: SVU the other night and was kind of suprised at the language even used on that show anymore.

I hope they pass it. I hate those commercials and yes, my kids have asked what ED is and THAT was an interesting conversation indeed. I also think the really risque Victoria's Secret commercials should be kept until late night as well.

I too, liked it better when they had some restraint about the placement and timing of ads about sanitary pads, tampons, vaginal odors, E.D., underwear, adult incontinence, lubricants, and even diarrhea and constipation.

And I'm still waiting to hear an explanation of why there are two people sitting in bathtubs in the ocean. I'm old and thought I knew most of what there was to know about sex, but the bathtub in the ocean is a new one on me. What exactly are you folks doing that I haven't been told about? And just in case the explanation sounds fun, where do I find two bathtubs in the ocean to use?

I hope it passes. Count me in on not liking those commercials too.

What I can't figure out -- in a lot of them, the couple is sitting in separate bathtubs outdoors holding hands. What the heck is that supposed to mean??

And why is it we hear all these commercials about women issues, i.e., periods, birth control, yeast infections, etc., but I have never ever seen one commercial for men's JOCK itch???

My 12yr old finally figured out what "male enhancement" means. We were watching TV and you could almost see the light bulb go on "wait, are they talking about....?"

I don't want to hear about anyone's "not so fresh feeling" either.

I'm no prude and my kids aren't very sheltered, but why do we have to see these ads when we're all watching prime time T.v.

Same here. I'm all for free speech, but, we have to have some limits. I also don't like hearing it on the radio either. Especially not on a station that touts itself as "something the whole family can listen to".

I also wish they'd take off the ambulance chaser lawyers asking if you or anyone you know has had side effects or symptoms of some drug you took so they can go after the pharmacy companies. That just raises the prices for all of us.

I hardly think any of them are anymore indecent than the ones that foist junk foods on kids. I mute all ads anyway, so I never hear 'em.

be nice to have a limit on how many times a company can run the same commercial in a timeframe, I watch 2 shows, hour total time, and I have to sit about 10 of those Cash4Gold commercials, Ed Mcmahon is ok, but totally tired of hearing his voice by the end of the shows

I had to totally laugh at this one! You know why? Because men get their wives to buy the stuff for them. Companies know who actually does the shopping.

And I'm all for free speech too, but I would love to see all these commercials on at a later time. . .or not at all really.

That would be great! Those ads do get tiring and are inappropriate during family hours. Maybe they can ditch that suggestive Hardy's ad too!

You mean the one of the girl suggestively eating that burger??? That one is almost funny. Yeah, that's the way I always eat a burger. Don't you??? LOL!!

If I never hear the "Viva Viagra" song again I'll be a happy, happy camper.

And when littlest DS asked what "ED" was (after I composed myself), I told him it was a grown up illness that little boys couldn't get. That satisfied his curiousity for the time being.

Oh...my other least favorite is the "freecreditreport.com" commercials.

I agree also its time for those commercials to go as well. There are times I am with by my parents house on Sundays and we are watching the television and those commercials comes on, I want to say mom hurry change the channel not in front my elderly parents... They truly if they want should only be on late late at nite. Again I am far from a prude as well, but also with those pills who promise instant weight loss,those pills are not FDA approved I would never ever consider taking them, you do not know the long term results same for the viagra or any male enhancement products.... Peace. CAtherine

And how about that Trojan womens vibrator thingie commercial??

Makes me happy also. I'm sick and tired of seeing Bob and his smile. I wish they would remove the Ky as well. Thank God I no long see that one of the gum can't think of the name but its the one where the man and woman jump each others bones after putting a piece in their mouth. .. I'm sure there's a few more I believe needs to be removed during the morning and evening hours and esp now since schools going to be letting out for many states.

I have always wondered just who in the heck is sitting around that table when they come up with these commercials.

Let's do something more ~ contact your local rep. and let them know that you suppor H.R. 2175 bill that Virginia Rep. Moran has introduced. It only will take a moment. Let's let the people that have the "power" know what we think!!

I also think it is funny how many of these ads run during NASCAR races. Makes you wonder if race fans really "need" these items!!!

Okay ladies one commercial I absolutely love is the one for Geico Insurance I simply love that little gecko with his accent and he is so tiny, I love the one where his boss offers him a tiny tiny shirt tie and jacket and pants to wear so cute. Sorry to get off topic, but KTS the item you mentioned, where the 2 younger ladies are talking about it and a much older lady is sitting behind them, is listening to their conversation and she tells them I got mine already. Again if I am with my parents I cringe. Peace. Catherine

LOL...who does that! When would someone ever go up to a stranger and tell the about their vibrator? Maybe someone really drunk in a bar. Even then though, if some strange old drunk lady started talking to be about her vibrator, I'd want to leave....quickly!

That's cause we women, being the weaker sex and all, have our "complaints". While the men, being manly and studly, don't get jock itch and if they do, they don't talk about it, they just deal with it, don't you know?

Lots of people eat when they watch tv nobody wants to think about female freshness, maximum menstrual absorption and if it stays hard for more three hours go to a doctor when they are eating. I think they're kind of funny but they have no place where small children can hear and see them.

LOL, every time I hear the ED commercial, and the part that says "if you have an erection that lasts more than 4 hours, contact your doctor immediately......" I think of the comedian who did a skit on that, and said "If I have an erection that lasts more than four hours, I'm telling EVERYONE!!!!" LMAO. I think it was George Carlin.

Um, I haven't seen the vibrator commercial. We usually just have ABC/NBC/CBS on, tho. Is it on Fox or something?

allinagust I am not sure what channels that vibrator commercial is on, however I have seen it many times. Again like Jenh22 said I know they are out there but perhaps I am a bit prude I would never ever be able to discuss this and nor do I want to know you have one, that is so personal as least for me,,yikes.. While my kids are older and for them these commercials are okay, no way no how for younger children to hear to see.. Peace. Catherine

Isn't there a car in Nascar that is sponsored by Viagara?

My family always jokes that Dick Trickle(a driver and yes, that's his name)should be sponsored by Rigid(a tool company)and Viagara.

The KY commercials are kinda funny. The little clips they put in to reference the "enhanced pleasure" are hilarious.

The problem with commercials is where do you draw the line? Are commercials for adult diapers OK? What about pads and tampons?

Everyone's definition of acceptable is a bit different. I hate seeing naked baby ass in commercials for baby diapers but I know others think it's cute.

I wish they would ban all prescription drug commercials. They're all annoying and it's not like you just go out and buy it. The possible side affects disclaimers kill me -- "may cause explosive and uncontrollable bowel movements" Good grief, I don't wanna know.

In the Walk Hard, the Dewey Cox movie, at the end Tim Meadows says "if an erection that last more than 4 hours....call more ladies"!

I hope you aren't talking about spagetti Jimmy on the Capitol One card ads. I laugh so hard evey time I see him. He reminds me of one of my kids! I love that part.

I know that they sponsored Mark Martin's #6 car a few years ago. I have a friend that is a HUGE Mark Martin fan BUT requested that I NOT buy anything with the Viagra logo on it.

LOL! No kidding! Anal leakage?? No thanks! On the ED ones they list "possible hair loss" and my ex always used to crack up, "Great, now you can get a boner, but nobody will want to have sex with you."

That's funny because my DH is a HUGE Mark Martin fan too. Every year he buys new merchandise (shirt, hat), EXCEPT for when Martin drove the Viagra car! Whoever was responsible for putting that deal together probably doesn't work there anymore. I'm sure merchandise sales were way down during that sponsorship of that car!

I just turned on the Today show and they are doing a story on the TMI commercials.......tuning in now!!!

The Bob Viagra commercial always put a stunned look on my face. How they were able to get that on air amazes me. Though I will acknowledge the writers were very clever and witty, the commercial was TOO suggestive.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen it in a while. But I don't watch too much network TV.

The Extenz commercials were ridiculous. You had the "interviewers" go out on the street, asking couples if they used the product. The man would always have his chest puffed out, smiling, giggling sharing a not-so-secret side glance with his mate. Please.

Glad there is legislation addressing the content and air time of these commercials. Thanks for the heads up, truble.

I agree - those Bob Enzyte commercials are over the top....as are most of the erectile dysfunction commercials. But honestly, there are a whole slew of commercials that I would prefer not to see....genital herpes control, even feminine protection....doesn't need to be on TV, imo.
