baffling.

Commercials are strange, and the decisions made to air them at a particular time and channel make them even more insanely intriguing. Let’s take for example a recent commercial encounter of mine. Although I truly hate admitting this, around midnight a few evenings back, I was watching Moulin Rouge (don’t judge) on some cable network channel. While I only caught the tail end of this film, I did see at least three commercial breaks…as they do occur often enough. And can you believe the most prominent commercial shown was….natural male enhancements?!!

Let me repeat this so we’re all on the same page…Saturday…midnight…Moulin Rouge….men’s penis enlargement commercial. I guess I get the Saturday at midnight part of the equation…but Moulin Rouge is geared towards women. Seriously, what’s the likelihood a self-conscious man is watching this film, therefore making it difficult to see these commercials and purchase the product. Some kind of Sci-Fi or heroic action flick I understand, but to me this is just baffling.

Now this brings me to the next question, clearly Moulin Rouge is a chic flick…so is that commercial being aimed at women who find their man a little less than well-endowed? I mean, what woman is ballsy enough to do this? Are they calling for the 30 day free trial and slipping it in their significant other’s morning orange juice? And if they aren’t the risky manipulative type, how do they ask them to take such a pill….can you imagine the conversation, “Ummm honey, I saw this commercial and thought of you. What a great idea right?” The only outcome I envision from this situation is divorce or separation. Besides…it’s not about the size, it’s how it’s used……..at least that’s what I’ve been told.

Well now that this option has been explored, this brings us back to the original point….how many males were watching Moulin Rouge so late on Saturday night that the company found it lucrative enough to advertise. And the answer clearly must be…enough. And I’m sure these male watchers would never admit to neither Moulin Rouge OR natural male enhancements…but then again, who can blame them? I wish I could say I knew at least one though.

Just baffling.
