> [@Helena330](#): > > WHAT is with the two bathtubs in Cialis commercials? Two bathtubs on a beach, in the middle of what appears to be an outdoor mall, and just the very ends of them peeking in from the side of the screen on the last commercial I saw. What do \*two \*bathtubs have to do with sex??!! I remember the Levitra commercial where a guy threw a football through a tire swing. Around that time, there was some discussion in the Jewish community regarding the use of ED meds during Passover, and Jay Leno, who was still on late-night TV, had a parody where a rabbi threw a matzo ball through a tire swing. šŸ˜› ---

Thereā€™s a series of commercials for a tire store (online, I think) about the dumb things we do on wheels; driving into a parking garage with a bike on the roof rack, trying to pull a stump out of the ground and ripping the bed off a pickup, or spilling coffee. But at least you can be smart about where you buy tires. I hate commercials that are all about people being stupid (itā€™d be easier to list the ones that arenā€™t), and these are the worst of the lot at the moment. ---

Is it a Chevy commercial where the guy falls to his knees in front of a truck and begs for one? Because that just makes me feel like people will do anything to be on TV. And also brings to mind that there is probably a rule 34 internet site for men/truck porn. ---

At that point I realized there were no depths too deep for these things to sink. That one is pretty bad. Itā€™s like they donā€™t know what ā€œmamma jammaā€ is a euphemism for.

Another Chevy commercial rant. I live in the rural south and have a pretty large pickup. Iā€™ve never heard anyone make comments about trucks like I hear in those ads e.g., ā€œyeah boyā€ or ā€œlooks mean.ā€ Stupid stupid. Thatā€™s not how grownups talk around here.
