PETA’s ads for Impotency
If you remember, I have blogged about controversial PETA ads before (flubber whale aimed at obesity amongst other things) and this one takes the cake especially since it’s the start of the holiday season.
The controversial Santa Clause ad says that normal cow milk can make men suffer impotency. And that taking the Viagra pill doesn’t guarantee that it will be solved at all. In fact, there are reports that 40% of men who take it don’t feel the effects at all. It was also reported the women can take the pill too, to increase their libido. PETA feels strongly in advocating people go the natural way.
As proven by medical science, obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, prostate cancer, and hormonal imbalances are just some of the health problems that cause male impotency. Eating a diet rich in leafy greens, fruits, and grains will help you lose weight, prevent onset of diabetes, clear clogged arteries and stabilize hormones. PETA takes it one step further by telling people to ditch “artery-clogging” meat and dairy products as well (therein lies the normal cow milk causes impotency ad).
They even have a catchy tag line:
Vegetarians do make better lovers.
Here are some of their controversial impotency ads:
Avista Resort
I have been obsessed with going to Myrtle Beach ever since I saw a gorgeous photo of a sunset cast along the pier on a beach shoreline. It made me want to go there as soon as possible. It doesn’t help that the Myrtle Beach Resort I was able to find, Avista Resort, is one of the best Myrtle Beach Resorts one can get into, offering a fantastic view of the ocean with world-class amenities.
Getting into an Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resort like Avista is the perfect icing on the cake to top one’s vacation. It is a cut among Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resorts because you get to have benefits of living in a condominium with hotel staff:

Cable or Satellite TV
I am in quite of a dilemna. Part of my Christmas gifts to our family is finally subscribing to cable TV. It has been almost one year since we had one – it just wasn’t offered in our area yet. Now that it is, satellite TV like Direct TV is also offered.
And now I do not know which to sign up for. Direct Satellite TV has a lot of specials right now that I am so close to signing up.
A cousin recently signed up for Direct TV in California because her contract with Comcast expired. She got it primarily for NFL and NCAA, sports staples for her husband.
