I’d recorded the 60 Minutes interview with former President Clinton earlier this evening, and I just finished watching it. I counted at least three, possibly four, advertisements for impotency treatments during the program. I realize that the 60 Minutes demographic probably skews toward older men, but isn’t that a little much?

Maybe the advertisers thought that Clinton’s appearance would attract the all-important horndog demo.

You know what I think is really funny? The couple in the Cialis advertisement are relaxing in separate side-by-side bathtubs, which always makes me think of the matching twin beds that married couples used in 1950s television shows. That was done because censors wouldn’t allow the TV programs of the era to imply that men and women slept together (shocking!), but what excuse do the aging boomer yuppies in this commercial have? Too cheap to spring for a hot tub?
