You know, I agree with you. Actually, I think all of this junk -- Tampex, condoms, etc., should be prohibited from TV and radio.

It simply isn't appropriate. It has nothing to do with restricting free speech.

glad you weren't my parent, afraid and embarassed to talk to your child, who you are supposed to be guiding and raising,
okay nancy-boy, let society teach them all that good stuff

you are a dumbass! try explaining to your child the facts of life instead of being all "embarrased". damn, dude, your name is steve but you act more like a stephanie. besides that, why pull just those ads? why not pull ALL medication ads? you sound like a communist.

I guess one of the risks they forgot to mention was bending over to pick up something along the highway while riding your motorcycle and your Viagra-induced erection gets caught in the spokes! YIKES!!

So you have a problems with explaining things to your 8 yr old. I particularly resent showing ultrasounds on fat hairy pregnant bellies at meal time or how woman can now swim and ride a bike wearing their new kotex and tampon. WTF!! Now THAT is disgusting and how do you explain THAT?

Well said and researched Wyld!!!

I agree!

My wife and I are in the Caribbean and recently had to renew two prescriptions. At home they cost about $180 a month without insurance. Here we were able to get the exact same prescriptions in sealed boxes from the same company for less than half the price ($64 for one and $80 for the other). Why does the rest of the world pay less for drugs than the USA? I know companies have to pay for research or we won't get new and better medications, but why the difference. If this is what the Fed is providing, who needs them.

People in the USA like to think we are the most advance country in the world and in many ways we are, but that is changing and unless we start paying attention to the important things we will become just like every other former world leader, a has been. Capitalism has worked well for us. Not because it was unfettered, but because the worse abuses were illegal. Today many of those safeguards have been repealed and has taken over. It isn't a coincidence that usury laws have almost disapeared and at the same time restrictions on bankruptcy have been inacted. Who hasn't received unsolicited offers for credit cards or blank checks in the mail. Just spend the money and become an indentured servant for life. What's next, debtors prisons? Is it any wonder the banking sytem is in colapse? They sucked people in with low interest short term loans to buy their "dream house" and then in a couple of years the refinancing triples their mortgage payment. So what is our government's response, bail out the same people who started the problem.

And while I'm on a rant, why spend $80 billion bailing out an insurance company. Who cares? If they go under, just pay your premiums to someone else.

I would like an intelligent response to these questions .

Amy, ,you are obviously very young, inexperienced at life, and have no children...or else you were raised in a lower class environment wi thout a clear understanding of morals and values in life. Mature persons know that there are just some things that very young children should not be exposed to...would you allow your 6 or 8 year old to watch a porno movie??? young minds should be kept as young and fresh and pure in spirit as possible for as long as possible. Maybe one day when you are all grown up and have children of your own, you, hopefully, will feel different, a mother, grandmother, and nurse, in florida.

Either you have no children or your an any thing goes kinda mom. How in the heck do you explain to a bright 6 year old what ED is? Ya Come on tell us in words that a 6 year old can understand about ED. Get real. These adds are stupid. ED should be kept between your doctor and partner. And the adds are so stupid it it doesn't make sense. We have this man he has taken his "pill" and they're setting out in 2 bath tubs full of water on a mountain side. Really where does that make sense?

you must not be much of a parent if your 6 yr old is watching tv with ed ads....way to interact with your child, stick them in front of a television, haha, great parenting!

its simple really, your child asks what ED is, you say,
"when your older, sometimes you body parts dont work like they should. now they have medicine to fix that."
you didn't "corrupt" your child but you didn't lie to them either. And with the herpes, a good way to explain is.
"you know how you get a cold sometimes? herpes is kinda like that, its a disease...but unlike your cold herpes doesn't go away. They have medicine to treat that. So the people can get better."
If they want to know more you simply say "YOUR NOT OLD ENOUGH." very easy.
And besides that, if your too embarrassed to talk to your children about their bodies, they will grow up hearing about it from their friends or worse not hearing about it at all and then making a HUGE mistake. i understand its embarrassing but it'll be even more embarrassing when they tell you "im gonna be a parent!" and their only 14. please get over your embarrassment now because it will be harder in the future.
