Roman Ad Campaign

The current TV ad campaign for some new service called Roman, for men who can't get it up, and which has doctors who will prescribe erectile dysfunction medication for customers and mail them in discreet packages (kind of like the doctors who prescribed people narcotics and benzodiazepines over the internet before the government cracked down on the practice. Maybe it's even the same quack doctors?*) points out that roughly half of all men experience erectile dysfunction, but none of them want to admit it, says: "Talking about ED doesn't have to be hard."

Ooh, maybe they shouldn't have used the word 'hard' there? It seems somewhat malign seeing as how they're targeting men who can't get hard. Maybe it would be nicer to say: "difficult" instead? But if they're going to use the word 'hard', then why not underscore their message by saying: "Talking about ED doesn't have to be hard, like you're penis isn't hard", or maybe: "Talking about ED shouldn't be any harder than your limp dick", or perhaps the more sensitive: "Talking about ED doesn't have to be hard. Not that a penis has to be hard either. But if your penis isn't hard, and you want it to be, perhaps we can help." Surely everyone would remember the service from that slogan, especially the target demographic.

Here's an example of the Roman ad campaign:


(BTW: I don't know if they're correct that no men want to admit they've experienced erectile dysfunction, but I never have, and I swear that's not why I'm denying it.)

* Prescribing ED medications can lead to death just like overdoses of narcotic pain pills can, in the case of ED meds possibly causing heart attacks, strokes, hemorrhages, etc. But at least, if someone dies from the medication, everyone can say: "He died doing what he loved." (< Having sex, that is.) But you could also say that about an addict who dies from an overdose of drugs. (< Doing drugs, that is.) It's amazingly irresponsible to prescribe medication for "patients" a doctor has never consulted with in person (and with the online pill mills, that's one of the original causes of the opioid epidemic, which the misleading misrepresentations in the news industry's hysterical reporting has spiked the death rates to many times what it originally was by conflating illegal drug use {heroin, illegal pills taken irresponsibly} with legitimate, responsible opioid use and prescriptions, causing doctors and hospitals to panic about liability and cutting off the medications of their legitimate pain patients, who then cannot stand the pain, the withdrawals, or both, and many of whom resort to buying black market opioid pills and heroin, both which are laced with fentanyl and carfentanil, which kills them; so the news industry has a hell of a lot of blood on its hands: the blood of many more Americans who died in all the recent wars the news media has tried to encourage, and I think they're guilty of genocide for their half-truths and dishonest reporting, in addition to being guilty of mass torture of countless chronic pain patients who now have to suffer from completely treatable pain they're now no longer allowed to have because of the hysteria created by the news people). I actually think dying from sex for most men, and dying from drugs for most addicts would be their preferred method of death, so in a way, these quack doctors being irresponsible could quite possibly make some people's dreams come true regarding the way they'd like to die.
