Alright, so this congressman wants to limit the times of day that erectile dysfunction ads can be broadcast, so that they cannot be on the air from 6am to 10pm. Read about it here.

This is stupid. Sure, the commercials are mildly embarrassing, and little kids probably shouldn’t see them. But this is overprotecting our kids. Pharmaceutical companies have a right to advertise their products just like anybody else. Honestly, if we start banning ED commercials, then you know what I want to see? I want to see tampon and pad commercials banned.

That’s right. I said it. Men everywhere probably feel it too. Those damn ads for Tampax tampons or friggin’ pads for women’s periods. We don’t want to see those stupid ads either, and I’m sure little kids don’t need to be seeing those too. So why stop at banning ED ads during certain times of day? A ban like that should be extended to feminine products.

Oh, this one time, I saw a friggin’ commercial for a douche. Fucking serious! A damn douche! You think men everywhere want to see that? Fuck no! Just like women don’t want to see cheesy ED commercials, men definitely don’t want to watch these lame commercials where some woman has this stupid grin on her face, followed by an animation of some tampon that soaks up bodily fluids using high-tech channels, or some shit.

Just stupid. Ban one, ban ‘em all, I say. Oh, and I apologize for the profanity in this post. I don’t normally curse here on my blog, but it felt appropriate and I think conveyed the tone I wanted to. See, there’s a method to my madness.

[Edit]

You did get that I’m semi-joking around here, right? Right? But seriously. This is one ban that shouldn’t be enforced…

So my mother is coming to town to visit. It’ll be the first time she’ll get to see our new house and meet our dog, so I’m pretty excited. I haven’t gotten to see her since our wedding, so that’ll be nice. It’s been a year.

Laura’s actually pretty excited too, which is totally awesome. We’re trying to figure out where we’ll go to eat while she’s in town and what food to cook here at home. I’ve already decided I have to make Italian Delight while she’s here. She’s the master of that dish and I have to make it for her to gauge where I am in my development of it.

She’s actually flying in on Election Day, so I hope she’ll either vote early or vote before her plane takes off. I think I’m voting early myself, since I’ve got to pick her up from the airport. But I may have a chance to vote on Election Day itself, so I think I’d like to.

So she’ll be staying here despite both Laura and I having to work during the week. But that’s ok. She can spend time with the dog and not clean our house. I know she’ll want to and probably will anyway, but I’ll make my point very clear that I don’t want her expending energy cleaning my house while she’s on vacation here.

I’ve also got to figure out how to offer her transportation. She said she doesn’t care if she’s got a car while she’s here for the times when it’ll be just her at the house, but just the same I want to try and leave my car here for her to use. We’ll see.
