Cyallis commercials during football games, inappropriate?
Rez asked:
A lot of people watch football with children who are too young to learn about impotence, but kids will see these commercials talking about “e.d” and ask what the term means. Is it not inapproprate to be showing this stuff during sporting events? Do the networks not realize that kids watch football? What can be done about this?

Create a video blog…instantly.
I think it is inappropriate anytime not just during football, It is a rather personal issue and should be kept that way.

My kids’ eyes immediately glaze over if it’s a pharmaceutical commercial (or anything other than a toy, junk cereal, or McDonald’s commercial for that matter!), so it’s really not a big deal for me. The ads are cryptic enough that you should be able to make something up if they actually are paying attention.
I kind of see your point though. I think all the beer commercials are far more irresponsible and harmful to impressionable young minds than any ED dysfunction commercials.
Anyway, if your kids are 8 or older they should probably know about sex already anyway, unless you want them to learn the wrong things from peers and television.

If it is a problem for you then call your station and complain. Personally I would like to get rid of the beer commercials, children should not be subjected to those ads which target the young adults.

Very inappropriate.
They do their research and it tells them that X amount of men and women; X years old watch football and that is their target audience.
The problem with this country is TOO MUC FREEDOM.
When you protest about this matter the first thing that the proponents of “do what you like” will say is, “if you don’t want your children to see it, just change the channel”.
Of course we all know that changing the channel doesn’t do any good unless you know in advance that whatever it is that you don’t want your child to see is going to be shown, your child will see enough of it to leave an impression in his or her mind.
That’s freedom of speech for you.
Chalk up another one for big business.

Agreed, and it isn’t just the Cyallis commercials. What about the herpes commercials that run during the games (I think it’s Valtrex??). Little kids definitely don’t need to know about herpes and e.d. The netwoks should just shove all those into the late night infomercials at like 2:30 in the morning. The networks themselves don’t care though. That commercial timeslot during the game is the highest price :30 seconds every Sunday. They’re making money and thats all they care about.
