give me your thoughts…

By December 5, 2007Blog

Is this commercial offensive to you? It’s in Italian, so you probably won’t be able to understand what it’s saying (unless you speak Italian), but you’ll get the basic idea just by looking at it. I kind of think it’s a little funny. You know, ha ha funny. Not hilarious funny.

But an Italian priest didn’t feel the same way…

Viagra is for the treatment of inability to get or keep an erection and similar states when erection is of low quality. When you buy remedies like cialis from canada you should know about cialis online canada. It may have a lot of brands, but only one ATC Code. Erectile dysfunction, defined as the persistent impossibility to maintain a satisfactory erection, affects an estimated 15 to 30 millions men in the America alone. Sexual soundness is an substantial part of a man’s life, no matter his age etc.

  • I’m not offended in the slightest bit

  • Matt says:

    No.

    But then, I’m not easily offended as a general rule.

    i’m not offended… if anything, i kind of like that it brings the real meaning of christmas to the foreground. america has done a great job removing christ from the season. i saw a christmas scene with deer, snow, lit trees, and some other random stuff… sadly, it seemed like a natural christmas scene to me until a friend of mine pointed out that it had nothing to do with christmas!

  • it is sort of funny, but not really scandalous.

    I thought it was entertaining. But,
    for the sake of arguement, let’s say that it is offensive. Aren’t the actions of said priest bringing MORE attention to it than drawing people away from it?

    I don’t really care for commercials or shows that take away from actual factual events and make light of them. I don’t know if its some of my legalist past but I believe we have become desensitized to humor aimed or directed at christians and the faith. Next thing you know we will find everything that belittles us or our faith as humerous. Again thats just my opinion and no I didn’t spell check this or check for grammer.HaHa

    I guess translating the dialog might shed some light. But no, it didn’t offend me. Actually the fact that the nativity was even depicted is a step up from the crappy sappy nonsectarian nonspiritual nonreligious, fuzzy “feel good for no reason other than you’re spending money” commercials we have here in the states.

    Reminds me: I went to the post office to send some parcels. When the kind teller finished I used the safe “happy holidays,” and he replied, “Merry Christmas.”

    Dang it, YEAH. It’s Christmas.

  • It’s pretty amazing that they incorporated Red Bull with Jesus. Not offensive at all. 🙂

    I am betting Jesus would be a Mountain Dew guy anyway.

    Not offensive at all. It’s amazing what some people get all uptight about!
