Something the average man doesn't think about...

So we were doing headder drills durring soccer practice today, and I was thinking to myself, "What is something that no AVERAGE person thinks about?"

My conclusion:

Grizzly Bear skeletons...

I imagine that NO person on this forum sat and thought about a grizzly bear skeleton today. NOBODY.

Post other things nobody on this forum thought about today...

I wonder how I know when I'm having a tender moment...or if it's supposed to become the RIGHT moment? PLEASE MR. TV MAN TELL ME PLEEEEASE

Actually, all kidding aside -- does it bother anyone else how drug companies are allowed to advertise DIRECTLY to people with no medical training, encouraging them to go to their doctors and ask for prescription drugs? If it isn't one of the formal signs of the apocalypse, it really should be added to the list...
 
You are right, but I did think about this mutant killer grizzly bear movie...

Good in its own ways...bad for many reasons...certainly worth watching for the final shot alone.

RE: That Cialis Commercial.

WHO in the bloody hell takes baths outdoors in matching bathtubs...and how the FUCK is that the "right moment"? God, that annoys me.

And no, I did not think about Grizzly Bear Skeletons. You is the winnah.

I got to thinking. What does K Y stand for in KY jelly. Doing a google best I could come up was this


"A spokesperson for K-Y jelly's maker, McNeil-PPC, a division of Johnson & Johnson, says "surprisingly little" is known about the name's origin. The best she could come up with is that KY was a meaningless pair of initials used to designate the product during the research-and-development phase. However, she also says the lubricant was introduced in 1919, which is at odds with trademark office records, so some skepticism is in order."

That skeleton is awesome.

Someone with better skills than me (that's all of you) should move the fingers of it's left paw above her head. Don't forget the shadow.

Oh and I had no idea they were that big.

Jinx, just so you're aware before you move up to Canada...pharmaceudical companies aren't allowed to advertise their wares on television like they do in the States. They cannot make direct reference to what the drug is for, period.

So we get Viagra ads with everyone jumping around...and that's it.
Cialis ads with older couples looking into each other's eyes...and that's it.
Levitra ads with a dude throwing a ball through a tire swinging from a tree...and that's it.

All ended with "See your doctor."

No voiceover about how it'll put the turgidity back in your meat-stuffed shellcase, or possible side-effects, bullshit testimonials from old ex-NFL coaches or failed Republic nominees, any of that nonsense. It's quite refreshing, especially when one takes a trip down to America, turns on ESPN by accident and is immediately bowled over by an avalanche of of drug ads blasting away between Dan Patrick segments.

I'm waiting for the inevitable Joe Namath/Suzy Kolber combination ad for Budweiser and Viagra. Good times!

The lack of regulation in the presentation of drugs is really developing into a big issue. Many doctors admit to presciribing drugs simply because the company told them it was the best one. Take pills to decrease your blood pressue. There are drugs 20 years old that work better but the doctors will go with the new drug simply because it is new and the drug companies will buy them lunch every Friday. Fortunetely many doctors are retaliating and shunning drug promoters, there is even talk of a anti-ad squad under the FDA which would provide counter propoganda.

This will probably end up being like farming subsidies and go unsolved for the next half centaury.

I heard the best explanations for those exact questions from a couple of chrsitians.

1. Haven't you ever seen that fossil that has a human footprint inside it? Me: NO
2. God can make things that look older than they really are! Carbon dating sucks!
3. Dinosaurs WERE around at the same time as people! Where do you think the stories about dragons came from?!?!?!

Disposable sanitary pads first came out around the 1910s, which were used with belts. These belts were in common use up until the early 1970s, when adhesive pads came out.

The tampon was introduced by Tampax in 1936.

Before pads and tampons, women used rags, which were laundered and re-used.

Here's something: What did women use back before tampons were invented?


Big old bits of cloth, i know this through knowing that the used to check up on queen Elizabeth the 1st to make sure she cud still have kids when they washed them

What did people use before toilet paper? Water! Which makes that scene in Dances with Wolves very contrived.

Come on, someone has to have seen Prophecy or at least wants to. The speech about the Mercury is amazingly campy.

I saw Prophecy when it came out. (I was in 6th grade.) There was a big article about in FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND magazine too. Too bad the movie was poo.
