And a few years later...

As the old saying goes, what's good for the gander is good for those who miss being goosed.


Well fortunately we were not subjected to wistful video of Bob Dole in sultry poses.  ;D

"TMI" does not even start to describe this ad which has been running for the past month or so.  Yet another reason why kids should not watch TV with their mothers in the same room.  :-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54o-SYj0r9E

I'm surprised they didn't pull Lauren Bacall out of retirement for this ad.  Her voice would have added cachet to the ad.  ;D


They'll ask, "Mommy What's a vagina"?

And what is wrong with teaching children anatomy?

It's dirty and sinful. Just kidding!

I'm saying some kids might be curious at first.

He had no idea.  ;D

Oh geeze.  In the wake of the Osphena commercials, now there's an ad running for a product called Premarin which is an elixir to solve the same problem.

WTF is there some sort of epidemic going on that they all of a sudden have this ad blitz? ???

DON'T YOU DARE SAY SPERM IN THIS HOUSE!

Oh, no, it gets worse.  Much worse.

Premarin's not new.  It's been around for more than 70 years.

At the risk of grossly simplifying, the innovation in Osphena is that it makes existing estrogen work better without dumping more estrogen into the system.

The Premarin idea of just dumping more estrogen has more side effects, but it's really easy to extract estrogen if you have a suitable bioreactor that produces it in large quantities, which is why they were able to figure out how to mass produce it in the 1940s.

I fear I've already said too much about what the name of the old drug actually stands for.  We're a family-rated board and I've already shown you the first half of the process.  What you google on your own time is your own business.

I totally understand where the name Premarin comes from and I totally understand what it does. How do I know? Full disclosure, I use it. They only discuss ONE symptom on the commercial but there are a LONG list of symptoms related to menopause-hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain, fatigue, etc., etc. I have had ALL of them with a vengeance. I didn't want to go on HRTs (Hormone Replacement Therapy), but things were SOOOO bad. As much as I hate to admit it, Premarin has helped with those symptoms. Hasn't complete got rid of all of them but it has diminished them A LOT!!!! I use it VERY sparingly because of the side effects-increase in cancer, stoke, heart attack, etc, etc. Not to mention it is just plain yucky!  8-P

Is THIS post TMI? Perhaps but I want you guys to know that these drugs are helping women with so much more than just painful intercourse. I really wish you guys will realize what us women go through. It is not pretty and I doubt anyone of you who are making fun of a stupid ad could really deal with menopause. It is NOT for the fainthearted.

Oh I know it's been around forever.  But they're now doing those, uh, *explicit* ads now.

I remember when I was a teenager how awkward it was when the family was watching F-Troop and then one of those tampoon commercials came on, talking about that dreaded "not so fresh" feeling.  Now when the shows hit a commercial break it's like a voyeuristic trip into the offices of gynecologists and urologists, with explicit details about anything that can go wrong at Function Junction.  8-P  TMI!!!!

F-Troop managed to avoid the death curse that many of the 1960's shows experienced.  Many of the main players (Ken Berry, James Hampton, Melody Patterson, and Larry Storch) are still around.

Why can't men have a "fresh feeling"? ;D

Well, for one thing, even if we did, we wouldn't call its inverse "that not-so-fresh feeling" :)

We're not much on subtlety, so we need more honest descriptors of both the condition and the remedy:

And for anybody still couldn't figure out what Gold Bond was for, there was this marketing genius:

You know, I'll give the "YOU CANT TALK ABOUT THAT ON TELEVISION" crowd this much: if we subjected women to commercials like this during sporting events, they'd be laughing their asses off at us.  And you know what else?  They'd be right to do so!  And you know what else else?  Give it five years and we'll all get over it and laugh together about this, the same way people today laugh at the fact that black-and-white-TV couples, even the married ones, slept in separate beds.

Now if you'll pardon me, I've gotta go make some cheese balls to go with the fish tacos I'm serving for the hockey games tonight.

CLUTCH THE PEARLS, IT'S A VAGINA!  A gash, a snatch, a hole, a beaver, a hair pie, a peach, cooch, a cooter, a box, a kitty!

WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!

And now for something completely different.

Apparently the Kingsport, TN cops had arrested some gal who had a .22 caliber 5-shooter (which was loaded) using "The V" as, uh, a holster of sorts.  :o

They traced the gun to some dude that she had stolen it from.  Its 70-year-old owner, John Souther, told The Smoking Gun he would like the ‘little fellow returned’, but added the weapon would require ‘a bath in bleach’.  'Twood appear he wants his guns to have that fresh feeling.

I guess I now understand what The Apollonia 6 were singing about.  ;D
