F'ing retarded commercials

I haven't blogged in about a million years. But something finally happened to make me come back. And it was those F'ing retarded new Viagra commercials. In this series of ads, idiots speak gibberish with "Viagra" as the only recognisable word. Then we get the tag line: “the international language of Viagra.” I can tolerate gibberish for about 2 seconds before I change the channel, so the ads fail instantly with me. More importantly, Viagra is a pill that gives old men boners. How can you screw up the marketing of a pill that gives old men boners? Toronto ad agency Taxi managed with this shit campaign. Here's my Viagra ad campaign, donated to Pfizer out of the goodness of my heart.

We open on an old man frowning. The he takes a pill. Then he smiles. Then we get the tag line "Viagra gives old men boners." End scene.
