ED Dysfunction

Today's topic is the commercial for the ED product that uses two bathtubs in its advertisements.

Here're several questions the above-mentioned commercial raises *snicker* for me:

1. Where's the plumbing? I see no evidence of faucets, drains, or hot water heaters in those "romantic" commercials. How does the water get into the tubs? Who's heating all that water? What happens to the water after it cools off and the sun goes down? Do they just pull the plugs and let the water run underneath the tubs, which would only serve to make mud, which would get feet muddy, which, I'm guessing would ruin any remaining romantic feelings.

2. Why two tubs? If the whole point of the medication is to "make sure you're ready when the time is right," wouldn't it make more sense to both be in the SAME tub? I could see where hopping from one tub to the other, especially if the weather is somewhat chilly, would cause things to droop, shall we say? Plus there's always the potential for some very nasty slippages going from one tub to the other, what with all the water and porcelain involved.

3. Where are the towels? I see no chairs with towels on them, no stools with towels draped over them, no towels hanging from tree branches. Where are the TOWELS? Sooner or later you're going to want to get out of those tubs and towels will be crucial to that operation. Or are you just going to stroll back to the house, buck-naked, from the forest, woods, mountaintop, or wherever you've put your multiple tubs? I'll bet the insects are just waiting in the trees or grass for the naked buffet to stroll by.

4. Who cleans those tubs? And they would need to be cleaned after being left out in the open, season after season. And how many times would they actually be used? Are tub sales up after this series of commercials?

Somehow I think these commercials were made by men who were trying to appeal to women but who also didn't bother to talk to any women before spending tons of bucks on the tub concept. I'd just as soon not be in a tub out in the woods, especially if I'm the one heating water, carrying water, cleaning out the tubs, etc., etc. I think it's exactly the kind of idea that some men would THINK would appeal to women, but in all reality, those men haven't done their due diligence.
