I was typing in today's journal entry while watching "CSI: Miami" when a commercial came on that made me erase the paragraph and instead decide to write about the commercial. The commercial was for Cialis. In case you haven't watched TV in a couple of years, Cialis is a drug for men who need help with erectile dysfunction. That having been said, let's get on with the commercial, shall we?
The stars of the commercial was an older gray haired couple, probably in their late fifties. They were in their house, getting ready to get romantic when all of a sudden the doorbell rings and before you know it, their son and a half dozen grandchildren come bounding through the front door, definitely putting a cramp in their style. The next scene in the commercial was what really caught my attention and made me almost say "WTF?" The scene showed the couple walking along a shoreline with a huge lighthouse in the background. Yep, a huge, tall lighthouse. I don't think they could have showed anything more phallic than lighthouse. In fact, I think this commercial should receive an award for Best Use Of A Phallic Symbol In A Commercial For Erectile Dysfunction Medication. Up till now, the award belonged to one of the first Viagra commercials that showed a man throwing a football through an old tire. You get the picture.

It's just swell when I'm sitting watching the telly with my kids and this commercial comes on. After the announcer says "If you experience an erection lasting longer than 4 hours contact your doctor", I always expect my 9 year old son (who worries about everything) to ask what this is for.
