Pickles by Brian Crane for August 02, 2009

Just push the button. It can’t be as bad as the condom ads in China - horrible yet hilarious.

Sex sells.

What’s so funny? I’ve done pretty much this for some five year olds during Dennis the Menace

Let’s go back to the Fifties!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yes let’s! When they didn’t advertize such things on prime time TV!

Quick reflexes, Opal!

The woman can still move, huh?

Hey Opal, welcome to the 21st. century.

Amen!

One of the reasons we quit watching TV years ago.

Who cares?! We need to know what those products are for! But other than that, I do not have to know anyway.

TV hasn’t been any good since the corporate types took over the studios, and it stopped being about creativity and became all about the bottom line. Old TV was an art form, new TV is a business. We unplugged years ago. Do wish more of the really brilliant old programs were available online, so today’s generation could see what they are missing.(So much of what is there is definately “B” list)

for an( LA!LA!LA!LA! ) lasting four hours , contact your physician immediately

why do they waste money advertising? every one knows about it!

I use the mute button but also am finding it easier and easier to just not turn on the TV at all.

Was visiting at my brother’s house. They never muted the commercials, nearly drove me crazy. Same commercials every commercial break every 3.5 minutes.

Since we now have to put up with converter boxes there are old time shows usually black & white on chanel 49. Some of the new show are too great. Friday I like Suburbia with Bob Saget. I like his being sarcastic. During summer for me is reading and go-comics. Fall with Dancing With The Stars, I am really hooked on I can’t do those dance steps. And court shows. The people who do not watch TV miss out whats going on with the news. We ourselves did not go for trade in old cars for new.

I don’t watch TV at all, if there is something important going on someone will tell me about it, or I’ll see it online.

News and football are the only network shows I’ll watch these days. Shows from the 60’s & 70’s were among the best. I think network primetime has been sliding since the late eightles. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s hit rock bottom yet.

Back in the 60s and 70s people complained about sex and violence. They should see today. PBS was the first network to show full frontal nudity

olfart said, Hey, here is a novel concept. Instead of sequestering your children, try talking to them. Explain why you object to certain ideas and images. Of course that requires that you know your reasons, but thinking won’t hurt you either. ———— I’ve got two kids, 22 and 18. We’ve been talking to them for years. Thanks to President Clinton and his stained blue blouse they’ve seen this kind of junk on the TV for years. It doesnt mean we want to watch it though. I’m sitting alone at home, watching TV with my wife, neither one of us wants to watch some stupid ‘male potentcy’ product. And most of it isnt even for impotentcy any more, it’s to make you ‘more powerful and virile’. Dude, if you think you need that kind of garbage you need more help than some little pill can give you. You need to grow a whole new set of nads.

Possibly AciPhex…if ci = s and ph=f say it out loud now…but not where your childeren can hear you….. Gotcha!

CaddyShack OK!

I think it’s that bob commercial

darwin4139, Great minds thing alike! “Big Wood!” Otherwise, it might have been the See Alice commercial where they promise to help you build an Erector anytime over 24 hours. I’d like mine to be a steam shovel please!

Yes the remote has saved my sanity. Whats left of it anyway. I don’t know about the sheep out there, but a commercial never made me buy something I didn’t want anyway. And if you annoy me with your stupid commercial enough times, I will boycott whatever it is.

humor is in the eye of the beholder! since i just witnessed this scene in my house when my granddaughter and 3 yr old great-grandson were visiting, i was very amused. opal is from the older generation when morals were taught in the home, and kids were kept innocent longer. now tv has made that impossible, so it’s up to the remote controller. btw, it was my granddaughter who was grabbing for the remote. i’ve become immune to it, kinda like earl.

NO!
