And we thought the Super Bowl ads were excessive

I've noticed that there are many billboards, television, and radio commercials here in Melbourne targeted toward men to improve their sexual prowess (usually by improving their, ahem, staying power). So all day long at work, commercials for treatment of erectile dysfunction play over and over and over again.

One day a coworker asked, "Do you have this many commercials for improving erections in America?"

"No, not really," I replied. "I think it's because we are a bit prudish and don't talk about such things that openly. But hearing all these commercials here kinda makes me worry about my dream of finding an Australian husband."

"Well, all I can say is try before you buy."

Good advice, indeed.

Apparently in the US, said products are enjoying such a successful email advertising campaign that there isn't much need to advertise elsewhere.

Except for Bob. He smiles a lot. Gotta wonder if Enzyte contains something trippy.

I saw about 10 commercials for ED (yes, I now know the term) last night on TV. I think our American men are catching on.
