Inappropriate Commercials

Some of these commercials are so inappropriate today.  I'm serious.  I mean, why do I have to hear about douching and penis enlargement and condoms and lube on my TV?

Just last night I saw a commercial for a vibrator.  Uh, excuse me?  Why are these commercials being played on regular TV?  Why can't they be played on TVs at the sex shoppes?  They also show commercials for cock pumps.  Hello?  WTF!  I don't want to see cock pumps and vibrators and penis enlargement pills commercials.

Why are we being bombarded with all this stuff?  When I was a kid in the 70's - 80's it was enough to have to endure maxi pad, tampon commercials.  I didn't even know what Summers Eve was all about because the women were always running through a field in slow motion.  I finally figured it out when I was a teenager what that was all about and I was like eww.

The worst moment to see these commercials is when you are sitting in a room with a family member like an aunt or your mom or your grandmother.  Or worse, you are a guy and you are seeing a commercial about lube or cock pumps and your kid is sitting there watching too.  Not only are you embarrassed but I'm sure they want to just crawl under a rock and die.

Michael Phelps Pot Scandal

I didn't watch the Olympics.  There, I said it.  But I did admire Michael Phelps for his wins in last years Olympics in China.  Good for you, you go boy.

He recently went to a party and was smoking from a pot pipe and someone decided to snap a picture of him with their cell phone while smoking pot.

First of all, I'm not advocating pot or drug use but who cares?  Who hasn't smoked pot from a bong or a pot pipe at a party?  Come on!  Who freakin' cares!  He's an adult.  I've smoked pot when I was 15 all the way through the age of 23.  I occasionally smoke a joint "if" it's being passed around.  I'm not an addict and I'm pretty sure that Michael Phelps is not a pot head either.

He apologized and his endorsements have accepted his apology and they basically said they don't really care.  Although the South Carolina authorities where he was spotted smoking pot are considering a criminal charge against the Olympic Superstar.

Give the man a break, he won all this gold for our country fair and square and not under the influence of any illegal substance.  So he smoked pot, don't put him in jail.
