Congressman Moran (D-VA) has a bone(r) to pick with the drug companies who air ads for erectile dysfunction products on TV during regular viewing hours. He feels that its inappropriate and he's flat out fed up with these boner supporting, sexual enhancing shenanigans.
"Enter H.R. 2175. That’s a bill that Rep. Moran introduced last month that would prohibit any ED ads from airing on broadcast radio and TV between 6AM and 10PM. The bill advises the Federal Communications Commission to treat these ads as “indecent” and instruct stations to restrict their broadcast to late night and overnight hours."
Clearly a man of Congressman Moran's age would have strong interest in these pharmaceutical products, unless of course he is no longer tapping that Mrs. Moran ass. Maybe he's frustrated with his sexual life or maybe he watches adult content television with his gran kids around...I just don't know.
As far as I see it, I understand parents not wanting their children to see ads that blatantly boast about the "amazing boners" or "wild octogenarian romps" that will occur once the product is consumed...however, none of the ads for these products say anything along these lines and the subtleties that ads do contain are way, way above the heads of young children. Furthermore, these ads are run on channels for the target audience such as sports center, history channel, spike TV, etc, not on Toon, Nickelodeon or during the broadcast of Bob the Builder where children would be bombarded by the content.
I recommend parents monitor the shows their children watch(generic response) and if they do have to answer the question of "why is that guy smiling?" they should simply respond, "one day you will understand".
I also suggest Rep. Moran get a pack of Viagra, get a boner and then get a life...he's a democrat for eff sake, shouldn't he be ok with something like this?

I leave you with this...could a 6 year old really figure this out?
