Four hours consult your doctor!

OK, maybe it is the lack of sleep or the fact that I hardly watch live TV anymore. I tivo everything and then have mini marathons of shows. But last night I watched a show in real time, with the commercials and everything!

I gotta say, what the hell is up with that Cialis ad.

I understand what the drug does. What I don't understand is what in the world it has to do with bathtubs. And bathtubs on the top of cliffs. And bathtubs that are apparently drifting out to sea. And separate bathtubs to boot. Though the couple can hold hands while they look out over the cliffs.

Now granted it has been a while since I have been in the position of engaging in this activity but I assume it still does not involve separate bathtubs, the sea, or cliffs. I could be way off base here and the activity has indeed changed and now bathtubs are required to play. Or maybe it is just if you take this medication you get the urge for bathtubs and the out of doors.

Plus it is not just the tubs, which just weirds me out every time I see it, but the whole conversation between the couples. "We use this when it is right for both of us" what the hell does that mean? In my past relationship, it took two hours to decide where to go to dinner. Our master bedroom has remained white because we could never agree on a paint color. I'm pretty sure waiting for the "right time for both of us" would never have arrived.

Also how did four hours become the magic time. If you have an erection lasting more than four hours, see your doctor. Come on, seriously! Two hours, or three hours are fine but four hours is the magical cut off point? Even after one hour, would a guy really not start to be slightly concerned? I'm thinkin' by two hours he has seriously entered freak out zone and anything after that, he is pretty much comatose in fear. I can't even fathom what they do to rectify the problem and I don't want to know. I'm sure guys don't want to know either. In my thoughts, there is no good outcome, lots of funny ones, but no good ones.

I'm going back to tivo, live TV has made me think too much. Lack of sleep has made me punch drunk and I have now taken to thinking long and hard about TV commercials. Lord help us all.
