What happens in your pants ...

I'm thoroughly convinced that all commercials touting the effectiveness of pills like Viagra are designed to scare the bejesus out of men and thus prompt them to do something about their "issue." The latest commercial popping up (sorry, I couldn't think of a better phrase), mainly on ESPN, features the man band or perhaps you can call them the AllMan Brothers. But they're sitting around in some dimly lit place – could be a garage – could be a Country Buffet – who knows? But they're singing some nifty, altered Elvis song. I don't know if there are any other words to their song – I'd rather not know – but I'm keenly aware of the chorus – "Viva, Viagra, Viva, Viagra" they happily sing. Don't blame these guys for not being in touch with their feelings, if you can sit around with your buddies and sing about being impotent – then you're well ahead of most guys. I know what the point is- we're demystifying impotence. But seriously, a bunch of guys singing about it. I hope they don't go on tour.
I will, however, gladly take your thoughts on what that tour would be called.
