For some reason, the outcome of Tuesday’s elections makes
me think of the most recent Viagra commercial being run by Pfizer.
Because there are a whole lotta new officeholders who are
going to want to show who’s got the biggest appendage. And I expect that many
of them will require some chemical enhancement.
I found this commercial bizarre—advertising the treatment
for a middle-aged man’s dysfunction by showing nothing but a 20-something
blonde bimbo with a British accent.
At first I thought it must be a parody, because…well,
because it’s even dorkier than the Cialis twin bathtubs in the sunset.
But then I realized that the target market for Vitamin V
is precisely the middle-aged male looking to recapture his (possibly imagined)
youth by disporting with endless bimbos. So I suppose never actually showing a,
you know, guy with some years on him opens up everyone’s imagination.
I pretty much lost it toward the end, though, with this
shot:
Nothing soft-sell about this pitch, is there?
Anyhow, I’m sure that all the newly-elected pols up and
down the scale have health insurance that will cover all the little blue pills
they could want. Since we’re talking the opposite of birth control.
