Those people who listens to radio will surely know what I’m talking about, for those who don’t know its about those AMI (Advanced Medical Institute) nasal sprays. Whats different with their nasal spray compare to normal nasal spray you get from chemist? Well this nasal sprays helps with “male” problems, for those who don’t know what a male problem is, well basically its:

Basically, the nasal spray is developed by a Dr Jacov Vaisman (below), who is also the CEO of AMI and also claims that it has already cured 250,000 men with the same problem. Regardless whether the product works or not is not important, I mean there are men on the internet who buys pills that promises will “increase” the size of their penis, again whether the product works or not is not important. What is annoying about it is the advertisement on the radio. The whole thing started really innocently where it was just a guy on the radio explaining the “problems” to the listeners and then like all products it gives the product name and a phone number to call. It was acceptable… THEN they started getting creative (and getting lame). Here are some example of their ads:

  • This commercial lasts about 30 seconds, unfortunately so do some of us bloke.
  • If premature ejaculation is putting an end to your special cuddles, or you’re having problems keeping it up longer, it might be worth sticking something up your nose.
  • Nasal delivery technology can turn “ugh” (a woman sighs) into “Aaaahhhh” (A woman screams in ecstasy), so you’ll feel like one of the boys again. So call AMI for nasal delivery technology.

The first time you hear it, it’ll get you chuckled a bit… admittedly the ads are quite clever. Lame, very lame actually… but clever, but then it just annoys the crap out of you, especially to a man, if you’re a man and you heard that radio ad not once a day, but being literally bombarded by the same ads over and over again at least once when the ad break comes up… you subconsciously start questioning yourself:

  • Do you have any erection problem?
  • Are your performance up to the standard of your lover?
  • Does 20 minutes consider OK for sex?

Whats worse when your out there having sex with your love one, that ad starts to play in your head, it really starts to get to you, those same questions start popping up in your head. Come to the think of it, may be thats how they get their clients. I mean their primary target is after all… man, and when you start to think you have a problem especially while you’re having sex then the ad has done their job. But honestly, those advertisements can really be a pain in the ass even to the point of pure fucking annoyance.

However, the lame messages of the advertisements are not the major issues here. Its the broadcasting time of the advertisement, I mean these advertisements are played early hours of the day to god knows when, and they play it everyday. I mean even the Jerry Springer show where its a media freak show has the courtesy of broadcasting the show at 12 pm in the afternoon so it avoids children and also stops ALL broadcast during school holidays. When I heard the AMI advertisement 7:30 am in the morning heading to work and 3:30 pm in the afternoon for a snack, it got me thinking, parents will be driving their children back and forth school and if the parents have the radio on, kids will be exposed words like; erection, premature ejaculation or “keeping it up”. I mean if a teenager hears it they might have a giggle or two, but if a primary school kid hears it, how are you going to explain what erections are? In no time your kids would be saying those very same words on the playground and when the teachers hears them saying it, the teachers would brand as an irresponsible parents in the next Parent Teacher Meeting, oh the joy!

Right now you might be saying; “But radio ads are different from TV shows like Jerry Springer, because Jerry Springer is a TV show. Kids are more open to mature content on TV then radio ads, where the messages may be mature but kids may not understand the meaning“.

This is true, kids these days are learn things (both good and bad) more faster from visual presentation such as;thetodd.jpg documentaries, movies and TV shows.However, a brothel in North Sydney named The Boardroom of North Shore ran advertisements on the radio as well, they too contains lame but smart gimmicks such as; Happy Ending. Their advertisement never contain mature words such as; sex. The only word that comes to anything close to sex is the sexual innuendo (In-your-endo *High Five The Todd (right) style!*) is the word: Happy Ending. The only difference where the The Boardroom of North Shore and the AMI have is the hours they ran the ad, the brothel ad ran in the late hours around 11 pm where for obvious reason so kids don’t have to listen to mature contents.

Now this rant isn’t about the lame gimmicks or the annoying subliminal messages. Well actually it is, except in today’s society where people’s email inbox are constantly being bombarded by spam mails about: Sexual fling sites, porn sites, girls masturbating on webcam, people having sex with animals, penis extension operations, penis extension pills and Viagra. Where TV advertisements after 10:30 pm are filled with phone sex hotlines we really don’t need another medium to be corrupted. Commercialism is free to advertise whatever product they want to advertise, however, certain products should only be advertise during certain hours of the day for really obvious reasons. I like sex… in fact I love sex, but I don’t need a product that is advertised so many times its been drilled into my subconscious mind where whenever I’m having sex that I question myself; how hard does the penis has to be, in order to be consider to be ‘hard‘ or is 35 minutes too short for my girlfriend before I reach orgasm, considered as premature ejaculation?

Honestly… I don’t need that…
