"Thicker and Wider" Commercials are Back!

nd2023

Banned
I just heard an ad for Prolixus (a.k.a. "thick and wide is what women want") on 92.3 Now tonight. Yes, it even included the offer of a free measuring device! Haven't heard them since the Pulse 87 days. I wonder how many men hear that commercial and think to themselves "hey, I need to be thicker and wider" and ultimately order the pills. I can't see it being enough to justify an ad on a major market station. Back when Pulse was on 87.7, I'd hear those ads all the time in every other stopset.
 
Worse than condom commercials.... not to mention A LOT of <18 kids listen to NOW!
 
When people say, "radio sucks", I'm sure it has a lot to do with garbage like this. It's the audio equivalent of spam, and who doesn't love deleting that crap from their life? Gotta love the short-term-gain-for-long-term-pain strategy of the sales deptartment though -- seems to be working out great, right?
