Via e-mail, earlier today...
The boss of a Madison Avenue advertising agency called a spontaneous staff meeting in the middle of a particularly stressful week. When everyone gathered, the boss, who understood the benefits of having fun, told the burnt out staff the purpose of the meeting was to have a quick contest.
The theme: Viagra advertising slogans.
The only rule was they had to use past ad slogans, originally written for other products that captured the essence of Viagra. Slight variations were acceptable.
About 7 minutes later, they turned in their suggestions and created a Top 10 List. With all the laughter and camaraderie, the rest of the week went very well for everyone! The top 10 were:
10. Viagra, Whaazzzz up!
9. Viagra, The quicker pecker picker upper.
8. Viagra, like a rock
7. Viagra, When it absolutely, positively has to be there, overnight.
6. Viagra, Be all that you can be.
5. Viagra, Reach out and touch someone.
4. Viagra, Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman.
3. Viagra, Home of the whopper!
2. Viagra, We bring good things to Life!
And the unanimous number one slogan:
1. This is your peepee. This is your peepee on drugs.
MY kinda Boss, LOL! My kinda joke, too.
Okay...so this is off topic from the Viagra ads in your post, which I DID find very clever and hilarious.
ReplyDeleteMy beef is the Viagra/Cialis/etc. ads themselves. I am so sick and tired of hearing about erectile dysfunction every time I turn on my TV, and then having to watch couples leading up to having sex.
I am not a prude but it is really tiresome watching this stuff ALL THE TIME on TV.
Turn the channel? It's on EVERY CHANNEL, with the possible exception of C-SPAN which doesn't have commercials.
We have similar, if not IDENTICAL views, Sharon. One of my very first posts was on this subject, and more recently here. Great Minds, and all that!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'll defer comment on your observation about having to watch couples in the first stages of foreplay. It's particularly difficult if... oh, well. Nuff said.
♫♪ Memories... like the corners of my mind... ♫♪
Oh Buck ... I didn't mean to bring up unhappy uncomfortable memories. Which was kind of my point ... many people just don't want to be subjected to that stuff every time they turn on the TV. For all sorts of reasons.
ReplyDeleteNot to worry... at ALL, Sharon! I shoulda put another smiley in there to emphasize I'm laughing at the situation. T'is a lil bit bittersweet, true, and I'd be lying if I said otherwise. But... if I really wanted to change the situation in this space, I would. It's a choice, of sorts. (BIG ol' grin, here!)
ReplyDeleteThose were funny.
ReplyDelete*lol*
ReplyDeleteClever and funny!
Becky and Christina: Yup! VERY creative, those are!
ReplyDeleteWhile the #1 choice is hilarious, my personal fave is #4 - even though I'm pretty sure there are many women over a certain age who would have preferred that Viagra was never invented.
ReplyDelete:-)
I agree w/Kris... #4 in my opinion is the best! Hmmmm.... I don't think I've reached that "certain age" thing yet... and yes, the ads are obnoxious and on waaay too much! I think I can recite some of those ads verbatim... UGH!

ReplyDeleteKris sez: even though I'm pretty sure there are many women over a certain age who would have preferred that Viagra was never invented.
ReplyDeleteI'll give ya some women may feel that way, but many? Unh-unh. No way. I've known too many... ummm... horny ol' ladies to agree with that. Just sayin'. FWIW. YMMV. Void where taxed, regulated, or prohibited by law. Not available in every locale. Sold by weight and not by volume. Do not use near open flame. Et cetera. ;-)
Alison sez: Hmmmm.... I don't think I've reached that "certain age" thing yet...
See above. ;-) (BIG grin!)
And... Yeah. The ads DO suck. No "ifs," "ands," or "buts." Just pure suckage.
