I think the 4-hour thing is kinda like the warning on my Vicodin: "alcohol may intensify effects of this medication"...sounds more like encouragement than a warning to me. Though i have to admit, the scene in "40-Year-Old Virgin" where Steve Carell calls the emergency hotline because he has that problem(but didn't take any meds) and the Indian operator starts giving him suggestions anyway...just tooooo funny. Ugh! I hate all the ED commercials on soooo many levels, i'm embarrassed FOR those guys on the Viva commercial...and what the HELL is up with those bathtubs?? There's your problem, Bunky, you two are supposed to be in the SAME tub, as far as i can remember...and can we talk herpes?? How about toenail fungus? How bad do you have to want to be on TV to pretend you have any of these things? Talking about rude kids in commercials...the little brat in the grocery store, who doesn't like ANYTHING except Pediasure...which, incidentally, is made mostly of manufacturing by-products, like whey, and heapin' helpins of maltose, fructose, dextrose, sucrose...i guess we can just hope that after the sugar crash, the obnoxious kid will be comatose. Seriously, she makes child abuse seem reasonable, and the mom needs repeated V-8 smacks to the forehead for letting this get so out of hand.

One of my all time favorites was from about 5 years ago. It showed a man sitting in the back seat of a moving car. The radio was playing 'Another one bites the dust' and he was rocking & rolling to the music, swaying back and forth, smiling, just rocking out! People on the sidewalk were looking at him and laughing at him uncontrollably. Then a long shot - the car he's in is a hearse in a funeral procession! Still don't know what product they were selling.

I too loved that when I saw it the other day. It's cute.

I don’t want them in the flower beds, but some around the brush pile are fine with me. They are kind of pretty. The bird would start a riot if I would pull them all. Saw a Mockinbird feeding a young one the berries right there on a plant not long ago.
