The pandemic with its masks on inside but not outside unless you’re with the unvaccinated has created much confusion. So much “information” resulted in my basically staying home. And staying home has meant watching too much TV and seeing way, way too many commercials.

I’m not a prude but really what are thinking?

Treatment of erectile dysfunction: “Get hard or your money back” Explain that to the kid who comes in the room to say goodnight.

The woman who looks from a bent carrot to her husband/mate. And, to get “it” straight again they talk about “stretching” the problematic organ. Sure sounds like fun on a Saturday night.

And what about the insurance commercial that shows a father coming home and nearly misses being hit with a dagger and an arrow. The announcer says the insurance is so good/easy to get that the family will want him dead. Oh, they put a disclaimer telling folks that if you kill someone you don’t collect the insurance. What if some nut job misses that info?

And for the women: Now you can get deodorant for “all your stinky places”. There’s no doubt about what places they mean. The woman is sitting on the floor, holding her legs in the air, sharing a view of her most “stinky” parts through her tight leggings.

I have two choices: quit watching TV or switch to the Disney channel. I doubt Mickey has any “carrot” issues and Minnie appears to not have private parts.
