After reading this article, maybe he needs to discuss with the FDA, who required side effects to be stated on the commercials. There are quite a few airings though and there is a lot of revenue generated, but the other day I watched 60 minutes and one break we had Viagra and on the next it was Cialis, so you could not miss the warning by all means if you were watching the show. On the other hand though some stations are looking for all the financial support they can get in these tough times, so without advertising revenue, where do we go from there?
We may not like seeing it, but on the other hand, how do you handle this subject and change the airing times without cutting revenue and income for the television stations? BD
Television commercials showcasing romantic couples who have been able to overcome their sexual obstacles, thanks to erectile dysfunction pharmaceutical drugs, have become too plentiful and explicit, according to one congressman.
Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., is proposing legislation that would ban the ads between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.
"There just ought to be some limits," he said.
His hope is that nobody will ever have to hear, "If you have an erection lasting four hours, consult your physician," while sitting with a child.
Moran is not suggesting the commercials are pornographic, just that they aren't family fare. " I do object, when you're sitting around with the kids, to be warning people about a four-hour erection. That's not appropriate," Moran said. "I have no problem with the product. I have a problem with advertising it."
