> [@Mr. Blue Sky](#): > > I know you’ve seen the commercials for Enzyte - The once-a-day tablet for natural male enhancement ™ in which Bob, a rather happy fellow, is made to appear in various situations (pool party, meeting with Japanese businessmen, racing a car) with a huge smile on his face. This smile is supposed to represent his apparently rock hard penis. > > These ads are far worse than anything Viagra has come up with. > > No, I don’t have an ending for this… You’re missing the most/least subtle part of this ad. Notice that Enzyte Bob has the tall sake bottle on his end of the table, positioned near to where his lap woudl be. In contrast, the Japanese guys drink out of the short, squatty sake cups. (Bob does too but they usually show his hand from an angle with the cup behind the bottle.) The implication is clear… But, yeah, I think these commercials are annoying too. (although I kinda like the Sims-like wife with the huge smile…) ---

(bloussant) > > Forgive me for being dense, but whenever discussions of Viagra like products or their ilk come up, I have a hard time telling whether or not people have a problem with just the commercial itself, or the fact that drugs exist that help men having trouble with getting erections? > > Have men become so emasculated by society that they aren’t allowed to have erections anymore? The Bloussant ones creep me out because as the voiceover mentions “Get the curves you’ve always wanted”, they show the woman bending over and flashing her newfound cleavage at a couple of five-year-olds in her classroom!? :eek: There have also been the ads for those pills that help women get their libido back and feel like themselves in the sack again. I understand maybe taking them if you are on other meds that suppress libido, but how does your partner feel that you had to medicate yourself to feel like you wanted to be with him? Presumably men with ID are all set to go except for the physical inability, not quite the same thing. ---

> [@Myrr21](#): > > Fuck me, is that what that’s for? I just always assumed it was an arthritis drug or something like that, because that’s what aging football players/coaches are inevitably promoting… I thought the same thing until someone told me what it was for. I still don’t think it’s a very good commercial. ---

**Doktor Fluff** , Dobbs would not need any damn boner pill, don’t you know J.R. “Bob” Dobbs IS natural male enhancement made flesh and erect among us? Those Japanese businessmen would have felt the Stark Fist of Removal upon their bottom lines before they knew what hit them. ---

“Bob” looks like he had a lobotomy done on him. * * * Fagjunk Theology: Not just for Sodomite Propagandists anymore! ---

Bob looks like a character from “The Sims” video game. My co-workers and I always laugh at that football - tire ad. It could be for anything from erections to depression or arthritis. They give no clue what the product does except make you throw a football more accurately and have your wife love you more. ---
