I Don't Buy It: Viagra Commercials - Page 2

Those were apparently nothing more than warm-ups to see what kind of nonsense they could push past the vegetating male public during a commercial break. Their latest bit, "Viva Viagra," is truly tipping the scales of ridiculous.

Hmm, we've got six middle-aged guys sitting around jamming. Okay, that seems reasonable enough. Hmm, then they hit the chorus! Are these six guys really so excited about their new ED-solving drug that they felt the need to rock out about it? I highly doubt it. Judging by their general age and physical condition, at least a few of the guys probably don't even need Viagra.

Then after a while, if you look close, you'll notice that they are playing in a completely empty saloon in the middle of nowhere. To top it all off, the last shot is of all the guys shaking hands and man-hugging their way out the door, getting in their vehicles and driving off into the sunset.

So let me get this straight. Viagra will help you so much in your sex life and make you feel so good, you'll want to drive to a deserted saloon in the middle of nowhere and sing a song about it with your friends?

Surely the possibility of an erection that lasts a mind-boggling four hours before it is considered irregular would make any man think twice before getting that hyped about his helper drug. Assuming that guy actually wanted anybody to know he was taking it in the first place. Sorry, but I don't buy it.
