Sheesh. Are there really that many limp dicks out there?

The quick answer is yes. A study out of Italy claims close to 25 percent of men under 40 have erectile dysfunction. In this country (US) there is, as most are probably aware, an obesity problem. That can lead to ED, and it is easier to take a pill than exercise. Some men desire more stamina and resilience. they think that blue pill can help them achieve that, and it can, most of the time.

I have also read, and I have no idea what the numbers are, that some men use viagra and MDMA (xtc) to intensify their experience. It sounds like it could be fun. Don't get me wrong though, taking a chance on psychosis to have an extended boner and deeper feelings may be a bad choice.

In addition to obesity, the over-prescription of opiate painkillers has probably had an effect on ED via its reduction of testosterone levels.  Another case of a pill being needed because of a pill.

I'm sure its been done somewhere, but plotting average male and female hormone levels against population opiate use estimates over the past two decades would be interesting.

Excellent point, antipsychotics are also a culprit. I see a hand full of patients that are abusing pain meds and also ask for a viagra or some variant. I see a lot of patients on antipsychotics that also get something for ED. But my experience is very skewed.

I will add however, low testosterone does not mean poor sexual function. Many doctors make an A to B correlation and the male sex drive is much more complicated than that. Many men with low testosterone have very healthy sex lives.


Just heard a very odd commercial (on the Dennis Miller show) byGodSaid/ManSaid.com.  At first I thought it was a joke, a faux commercial made by Miller & co.  A Paul Harvey voice came on blathering on in a weird, staccato fashion -- it was very difficult to understand his points at all.  Anytime I hear a fast-talker, I think he's got something to hide.

How about those diedinhouse.com commercials? I tend to think my house is haunted,and I don't scare easily but, I was lying in bed one night half in and out of sleep and that ad came on. That shit freaked me out!

They are playing that commercial constantly here.

there is one here in DC, put only plays on the 106.7, its 1-800-Cars-4Kids.   I want to scream and run my car off the road when I hear it.

That's one of the worst.  1-877-kars-4kids. 

Crazy 88 Auto Loan...        $88-down, $88-a-month...

Wonder if "Glinda" owns some stock??? ;)

(Yeah, I know that's not her name)

It wouldn't be bad it they could actually sing.

We've been getting God-said-man-said in this market, too. I most recently heard it on Medved. They are unsettling. One of them said something about interracial marriage. I only caught that one once.

Has anybody caught the Biblical money code one?

Spooky Matter

This thread is just too much  ;D :'(

I didn't get through all if it just jumping around so I might be repeating somebody.  I hated Flo with such a passion I had to change the channel for fear of punching her in the face.  Kind of like how I feel when I hear Dave's voice.  One day I decided to look her ass up on the internet and found out she had this comedic background and so in admiring that, though I've never seen in her in anything but these frigging Progressive commercials, I lightened up my hatred to simple disgust.

I've heard both of them.  They're going nuts airing the money code one over and over again.  I'm starting to hear it so much, I'm beginning to think I'm a prophet.

How about They Fired the First Shot 2012?  I've been hearing that one a lot lately.

Oh my fucking god, yes. Everyone involved in the production of that commercial should be piled into one of the donated cars & driven off a cliff.

You and Your Johnson

They would play this over local stations when I was a kid.

Carnivora commercial  using 'Alzheimer's Reagan' as a success story.  :o

Noory will soon have a similar product ready for advertising.

Psychotic boners. Next on Dr. Phil.

Jeez, I just discovered this thread.  You've all nailed some good (=bad) ones.

Where to start?  Anything Geico, for one.  Any ad where the phone # is repeated more than twice.  "Hi, I'm Joan London." 

Of course, as mentioned, Dynavite, ED ads, mesh ads...

Then there's the slow-talking cancer doc who chastises his kid patient for playing hockey in the hall, after surgery. 

Especially annoying are those 'tax relief' ads.  Such BS.  "I owed $90,000 in back taxes but (...) helped me and now I owe nothing!"  A search revealed some great scams there.

The yelling, screaming ones demand an immediate turn of the dial. 

There are some fun parodies of t.v. ads, such as this of Olive Garden - hysterical.  Not radio, but what the hey:


MadTV Commercial: The Olive Garden


There's a site devoted to hated ads, commercialsihate.com.

Total Wine is getting pretty annoying. I'm afraid that were going to be hearing more of them because people will be presumably doing more wine-shopping for the holidays.

The precious metals guy on 124th St. and 124th Ave. NE in Kirkland ( puget sound listeners know his angry, petulant voice)is semi-annoying, but a least changes his spots frequently enough that you don't get terribly tired of them. That's one of the secrets of ads people like, I think, like the old Rainier Beer TV ads and the Absolut Vodka magazine ads--they changed them frequently.

This is one of my favorite threads and I would like to revive it.
This is probably in the Seattle market only, but does anyone listen to the Pat O'Day Schick-Shadle spots? Their big thing is that people can check in, get rid of their pesky addiction, then check out, clean and sober for good, and all the while they're in they get to keep their electronic devices. He makes subtle digs at AA, which I don't like. Some treatment facilities are AA friendly. I think that Schick-Shadle does aversion therapy, and I don't know what kind of success record that has. I did a bit of research on the Internet and it sounded like something out of A Clockwork Orange. I also had a guy tell me that Raleigh Hills didnt work so great and according to him they used aversion therapy, might have been Antabuse, for all I know. Of course he was a big fan of AA, so biased.
In any case, this latest jingle in the Schick-Shadle spots is pretty annoying.

Pat O'Day's voice drives me up the wall. This newest commercial he does where that awful old woman is singing is rather creepy.

How funny! A Kars 4 Kids banner comes up on this thread!

Ugh. I complained about this one on the 'annoy' thread the other day: those stupid 'But I was just buzzed' drunk driving commercials. So freaking cheesy and annoying. They play on almost every single C2C break and make me want to smash my radio. Or smash my head into my radio.

coast to cast am w/George Noory  seems to be a giant commercial. toomeric ,carnivora,"guests"  book/webpage etc. occasionally the words angel or portals gets tossed in there.its like a 4 hour infomercial.sometimes  the 12 minutes of news each hour seems like a welcome break. glad i sleep thru most of it.

the ED or "low T" commercials are annoying, on tv (where there always seems to be outdoor bathtubs! Who has these? The last time I ever saw one was on the "Fall Guy" tv show.) I also wonder about the potential side-effects. I don't mean to make light of a serious medical problem but I can imagine how interesting it would be to show up at the ER and ask the candy-striper nurse on duty to "help me, I got this erection that has lasted over 4 hours"!!

The General

Why don't these Carnivora motherfuckers just dig up Reagan's corpse so his skeleton can do an endorsement?
