‘Viva Viagra’ Coming to a Bedroom near you
Some funny stuff below from some newspaper or another…
Point is - here’s a Viagra commercial where a bunch of guys (studio executives it seems) are bouncing around singing ‘Viva Viagra’.
Question the writers pose is why?
They wonder why there are no women in the commercial.
Not much imagination these guys. Maybe they are gay! Maybe the Pfizer execs have decided to target the gay viagra market.
It’s a possibility - you have to admit. Although not very likely to my mind.
In my opinion, the commercial’s creators surely realised how unrealistic it would be to have men hollering the virtues of viagra in front of women. Even someone with half a brain knows that you NEVER mention this stuff to women. None of us (I repeat not a single one of us) takes this shit! We can all do the sex thing better at fifty than we could at twenty because of vitamins, good genes, or just fucking magic.
Anyway, here’s the read…
When did Viagra commercials start to look like beer commercials? A new Viagra TV commercial dramatically begins with the on-screen graphic “Nashville 1:22 AM” and then it shows a gaggle of old, graying studio musicians who are ostensibly singing about their ever-loving wives at home but are obviously lusting after the luscious young Music Row babes that their own failing erectile equipment deny them access to. So they’re heartily saluting the little blue pill that makes a vestige of eternal youth possible, one that allows old guys to make at least a few more last stands.
These old studio guys have made some money, so they all have cherry ‘65 Mustang convertibles or vintage Harleys or even a vintage Porsche or two. What they don’t have is what they most want. And that is something that is wasted on young men. It’s what Viagra is thumping with commercials like this one. What the targets of this commercial really need — and I am offering this suggestion to Viagra free of charge — is a little lead in their pencils. Pencil companies, please get in line. Oysters in the diet, perhaps?
I’m not the only person to wonder why this Nashville-themed commercial, as part of a current series of Viagra ads, has no women in it. This commercial depicts a bunch of supposed Nashville studio pickers getting together to sing “Viva Viagra” at 1:22 in the morning and to trade meaningful glances with each other. What’s going on here? Is this actually some kind of weird private club down on Demonbreun? Where they do strange Viagra things behind closed doors? You can just imagine the brainstorming session that led to this gem: “Good times! Good fun! The guys will all get together and pop some Viagra and see what pops up!” You kind of expect the old guys to break into “Strangers in the Night.” Or “Hard Times.”
