NO SHAME IN ADVERTISING
By Harvey Tobkes
The hygiene and sex products we blatantly see advertised on T.V. could not even have been imagined 50 years ago.
Frankly, they are so explicit, I find it a little embarrassing. I am thankful I don’t have to explain these things to my children. To be specific, here are some examples that come to mind. Please note the slight concessions of polite words or euphemisms… Viagra for erectile dysfunction, Ducolax as a stool softener, Monistat for vaginal itch, Tampax that even allows the user to go swimming, K-Y Jelly and K-Y Sensual Spray (use your imagination), Preparation-H for hemorrhoids, RectoRex for anal itch, Depends diapers for incontinence front and back, Cruex for crotch itch and a final one that comes to mind is Gas-X for flatulence. I hate to think what may be in store for us in future ads.
