Viagra "Sex, Drugs & Rock and Roll" Ad (Joke/Proposed)

I was watching Real Time with Bill Maher today, and someone from Linkin Park was on, and he asked them what they sing about now that they're not angry teens anymore (and a lot of them are married and have kids). And that reminded me that rock and roll is not young anymore, which made me think of a Viagra ad called: "Sex, Drugs & Rock and Roll".

So in this Viagra ad, we'd see some older rock musician playing onstage with his band in an arena, and after the show, he runs backstage, kisses his wife, and she holds up a package of Viagra. So there you'd have sex, drugs, and rock and roll, all together in a scenario that would suggest the right age, and perhaps make Viagra seem cool (or something).

Now, I'm thinking maybe Neil Schon from Journey here, because he married that reality show woman recently, and I'm sure she's desperate to be back on TV. Plus, he's way older than me, so he'll definitely be perfect! Also, if Paul Stanley or Gene Simmons from KISS wanted to make such an ad as a joke (I'm sure they don't need Viagra {yet}.), it would be really fun.

So the sex would be with their wife, the drugs are a legal prescription, and the rock and roll is their job. I'd be willing to bet that the idea of "sex, drugs and rock and roll" has never been presented as so family values before. And it's for a Viagra ad! (Can you believe it?)

(BTW: Just so that the expression can retain its true order, the guy should run offstage, kiss his wife, and then she holds up the package of Viagra, at which point he looks at it, realizes what it means, and he plays a hot rockin' lick on his guitar: Sex, Drugs & Rock and Roll.)

(I suppose a coda for this ad could be: "Sex, drugs & rock & roll: It ain't what it used to be!")
