Get in the Hole!

On Thursdays I enjoy watching the first round of the weekly PGA tournament. Mya, my girlfriend's 8 year old daughter, gets home from school at 2:30 and we watch the last hour or so together. She's starting to enjoy it and believe me thats a far cry from Sponge Bob Suck Pants. I'd rather listen to Smashmouth for a half hour than watch that lame ass show. As for her other television viewing choices we take all the precautions, lock the bad channels, watch the violent or questionable stuff after she goes to bed, not porn ya pervs, and try to keep it kid friendly as much as possible. Its tough these days with everything they put on the tube, the chicks all dress like skanks and the dudes are on steroids. However, what really disgusts me is the commercial content while we're watching a safe and educational telecast of a tournament on the Golf Channel. We cant just kick back on the couch and watch my favorite sporting event anymore without seeing every Viagra, Cialis or Flomax add each commercial break and I mean each and every single commercial break. Its absolutely uncalled for..
Do we really need to be reminded like 40 times a telecast how many middle age men can't get it up anymore or have to take 20 pisses every time they go deep sea fishing, mountain bike riding or traveling on a road trip? I understand the commercials are designed for the demographic that watches the channel or show, but to be honest I golf every week and see a ton of guys my age playing. Also, the average age of tour players has recently dropped down to young men between 28 and 34. Well I'm 28 and... Ok I won't go into the details, but here's the thing, what about kids getting interested in the sport? Should they have to hear about male impotence 12 times an hour? They might think too much golf will lead to impotence. Instead of answering questions like, Steve do you think Sergio will ever win a major? I feel like I'm about to start hearing, why shouldn't an erection last longer than 4 hours? Or, where did that cro-magnum looking man and the lady go that were on the Harley?
From now on lets just keep the adds simple. You know what these pills do so if you need them schedule an appointment. Believe me, there should be no debate between yourself and your whomever as to whether you need them or not. Symptoms; Its not working anymore even if your sober or your pissing your pants on the way to the urinal. And I'm not even a doctor.
The plus side will be, I get to lay back and not have to worry about where the channel changer is when Im trying to bond with the kid and watch Tiger.
