I never knew that the pharamaceutical companies were restricted from advertising until 1997. It explains a lot, and you're right, they have gone apeshit. It's amazing the number of drugs advertised, many for ambiguous "diseases" like Restless Legs Syndrome or Chronic Dry Eye. That’s really fascinating.

There's an entire page of The Price is Right cues, for example; heaven for a music/nostalgia geek like me. Anyhow, on that site I got re-hooked on that raisin bran "Two Scoops" commercial with the tug boat drivers. It's a really short spot--15 seconds maybe--and two rough and tumble tug boat drivers are finishing their raisin bran. they go on the boat, remember how great that raisin bran was, then turn the whole damn boat around to get more. they run, <em>run</em> i tell you, back to their raisin bran. cracks me up to this day. the short funky synthesizer solo in the middle is perfection. but anyhow, it's a great way to waste an afternoon or 40. :) As for the drug thing... I coulda sworn they weren't allowed to market directly to customers until some time in the 90s. But now they've gone completely apeshit. Aha, I'm right about this drug advertising thing being a recent invention.

I mean, that's the whole point of sex. If a woman has an orgasm, it's so a man can feel like he gave it to her. Of course any female sexual stimulant would really be for making the man feel good.

Of course all the advertising would change to revolve around older men and their penises. There's this less-often seen commercial where there's some special ingredient to enhance a woman's pleasure in bed. ... I think it's some sort of gel or something and you find out it *still* revolves around making men happy, and not her. Don’t you know this country is filled with aging Baby Boomers?
