What Congress works Hard On

A bill has been introduced into Congress to ban TV commercials for Viagra and other boner pills between the hours of 6:00 a.m and 10:00 p.m.

In other words, Congress hates boners.

My first reaction to Congress's latest attempt to put more government control in our lives was WHAT THE FUCK?  Why does Congress not want the bonerless to become bonerable? 

Old people are in bed by 10:00 p.m.  What would be the point of airing Viagra commercials after that hour? 

Personally, I don't start watching TV until late at night.  The last thing I want is the image of two old people having sex.  Because the Pharmaceutical company that makes Viagra would be forced to only air commercials after 10:00, it is safe to assume that boner ads would rule the airwaves during MY prime time viewing.

But.....

If I had daughters, do I really want to explain the boner to them?  The very last thing I would want to deal with as a father would be having a daughter ask me what erectile disfunction is.

But...

Since I am not a father nor do I have boner problems, I have to look at this legislation subjectively.

So...

I will.

If Congress gets their way with limiting these commercials, where do we draw the line?  What else would they consider banning before 10:00 p.m.?  Tampon commercials?  Condom ads?  Douche commercials?  Toilet paper?  Preparation H?

Why not Nyquil ads?  The coughing, aching, sneezy, stuffy headed medicine is no more or less offensive than something that assists a different part of the body.

But...

Once again, should a 10 year old girl have to learn about boners from a TV commercial? 

I was not even aware that this was an issue.  I have never heard a parent complain about this.

Viagra ads do not air during episodes of Hannah Montana because preteens are not the target audience.  However, Viagra ads do air during episodes of Wheel of Fortune.  Why?  Because the impotent are more likely to be watching a game show than a kids show.

Unless...

The impotent happen to be pedophiles.  But if a pedophile is unable to get it up, what is the point of them watching a show aimed at preteens?

Either way, it's a non-issue for me.

Maybe Congress should spend more time worrying about the actual TV shows that precede the commercials for Viagra.

Or...

Maybe Congress should worry more about lessening the stress that this shitty economy is putting some of us under.

Less Stress= More Boners.

More Boners= Less need for Viagra

Less Need for Viagra= Less Need for Viagra ads.

So....

What do you think?
