Re: I must be getting old!

For whatever reason that one doesn't creep me out as much...maybe because it isn't running 3 times every hour on every channel? But it would probably bug me after a while too. Maybe it's just the proverbial "Straw"....between this, the Cialis and Viagra E.D. commercials and everything else, I'm just glad the kids are grown. I mean, I'm far from being a prude. I was in my mid-20's through mid-30's in the 80's after all. I'm VERY thankful for the few remaining brain cells I have left...but I digress

I might be giving myself away, but that one didn't creep me out that bad either.  Might be the sleeze factor, Stu.  Good acting, maybe.

The ED stuff comes on in the middle of a game, (one of the few times I tv it) while my teeners are sitting in the room with me & Ms.Tia and I just look over and ask "Anybody need this stuff??"  After they all groan and say oh gross Dad, I hit the mute.

Right you are, I was just looking that up and getting ready to apologize to Seth.

Thank you Seth - YOU made me laugh and laugh with the Monty Python video clip!

Re: I must be getting old!

Very funny visual of your kids on the couch Jeff. (Oh, DAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!)

And Roy, that is one of my all time favorite songs too.....smoky, effortless Bill Medley - although, I'm not sure how much rhythm he has......look at the video and watch his finger clicking mid-video.....begins to look a little like Steve Martinesque.

Re: I must be getting old!

I consider the Viagra and similar ads pay back for the years of ads for feminine products that have bombarded us since youth. Wonder why women have complexes? And I know millions of old women are just thrilled that their husbands now sport a 6hr "special something"..I can hear them now.."O goody"       Cathy

Re: I must be getting old!

Hi Eva,
It's funny you should mention right next door, since those neighbors are originally from Germany, Jeurgen and Eliane, very nice neighbors who bought the house in a sheriff sale.  He's made a fortune in real estate development and she's a spectacular artist/painter.  Their house is for sale, so I have my fingers crossed for good neighbors, since the 2 previous owners were problematic...one is in jail and one is dead, a reckless driver. The next door neighbors are big sun worshippers and he gardens in a speedo sometimes...I hope you don't find this offensive since I've only been to Europe once and it wasn't summer...when the men go swimming, do they mainly wear bikinis/speedos?  I know when my husband lived in Italy for 2 summers he bought a speedo because everyone made fun of him in cut off jean shorts on the beach back in the late 70's.  He mentioned about Italian TV being far more promiscuous than American TV even back then.

Libby-about some parents, you wonder...the people that moved into that same house across the street wear the biggest horse blinders...big social life and are clueless what their kids do, their 2 teen boys have huge beer parties, smoke pot in the bedroom w/incense...2 summers ago the family went to Spain and the 17 yr. old gave out the code to get in the garage and house so his friends could use their house to party.  A couple kids got really fired up, took out the mom's car, broke the garage door and crashed into the stop sign at the end of the street... About 10 months later the same kid organized a massive food fight in the cafeteria as part of senior pranks in high school...graduation was almost cancelled because of him, he was not allowed to attend...he went off to college in Boston...those parents I will never figure out...The rest of the neighborhood is good...

Phil...I'm kinda' surprised Toyota did that ad, I never saw it before...

That´s funny Angela ... got your own soap opera right next door lol .

I watched the video on youtube, and it´s pretty much the kind of stuff that is on TV here too.
When I talked to an American exchange student a year ago, he was actually pretty shocked about German TV - we agreed that over here it´s more the violence that is a taboo, and that the kind of stuff in the commerical is more a taboo in the US. Don´t know if it´s true though ...

Eva

P.S.: "Close the door, we´re not heating the outside" is one classic sentence - my boyfriend keeps on telling me to turn the light off when I´m not in the room, maybe he´s getting old too ! lol

LOL, Angela - no I don´t think you´re being offensive ... but I´m happy to be able to tell you that European men DON`T wear speedos when they go swimming lol . O.k., maybe the Italians do - and the ones who do swimming as a sport.
It doesn´t happen very often, but IF you see someone in a speedo, then he looks like this in most cases: http://www.agirlandaboy.com/journal/arc … o%20me.bmp  wink

Re: I must be getting old!

EVA...:lol: lol lol I don't think I've ever seen such a HUGE chain!!! I think I set myself up for that....I'm getting myself in deeper every time I check back here, but when we honeymooned in Italy, the Italians thought my hubby was German...several said..specin de detusch...How do you say, do you speak German?  My husband is very fair skinned and was a blondie as a youngster and he's 100% Italian!

Did you ever see the movie Along Came Polly with Ben Stiller and Jennifer Anniston? (sp?)  The French guy in the speedo is how I was envisioning the European male at the beach.

I believe that if things continue as they are, we'll have augmented, perky these and engorged that and have dementia so bad we'll just run for office or something.

BTW Eva...saw a fat hairy guy on SouthBeach back in the 80s with a gold chain and a cigar in a speedo.  "Look a water baloon in a rubber band..."  but he was brown!

Oh my God, your poor husband! Being Italian and then be taken for a GERMAN ... lol, that must have been a hard time for him! You know, Germans and Italians actually love each other (especially German women Italian men and Italian men German women wink) - but sometimes they can´t quite understand each other .....

"Do you speak German" = "Spechen Sie deutsch?"

And yes, I saw that movie "Along came Polly" - but you know what the horrible thing is?! The men with the six-pack don´t wear speedos (like the french guy in the movie), but the ones with the beer belly DO sometimes!

Oh, that´s a never ending story lol,  Eva

That's because it's not a beer gut, it's a gas tank for a sex machine!  If you've got it, flaunt it, amirite?!?!?! tongue

I don't remember any speedos in the Neverending Story....hmm....

Re: I must be getting old!

Back to the original subject for a minute.  I am, most assuredly, NOT a prude.  But, that doesn't mean that I'm not surprised at what makes it onto the airwaves.  I mean, really......last night, I'm watching a re-run of the debate (Clinton/Obama) on CNN and, just before midnight this commercial comes on for ExtenZe.  Have ya seen it?  I was going to post the youtube link, but, thought I didn't want to get censored on the forum or something.  It makes the Viagra commercials seem quite tame.  Hmmm....isn't that strange that I would worry about getting in trouble for posting something here that aired on national television?  On a news channel?  During a Presidential debate?  Something is just not right.  Does that make me old?  Maybe wise?
