Yesterday we received a pop-up ad (appropriate, we think) for an all-natural aid for erectile dysfunction. It's called Orisin, or something just as punny.

And we noticed that this ad for erectile dysfunction aids , like most such ads, are aimed primarily at women.

In one, (yes, you've seen him) a dumb guy is throwing a football through a spare tire. Yes, he gets it in every time. Hint, hint. And his wife is watching with a glint in her eye. She's got her evening planned.

In another, a moron is walking around with a stupid grin on his face as his wife explains that he's not mentally ill, he's just fun to have around now.

So what can we conclude from these ads? Perhaps that, unbeknownst to many men, many women actually enjoy sex.

And what else? Perhaps that feminism (which we have supported all along -- right, honey?) has finally reached its logical extreme: Men have become mindless studs who are fed pills that allow them to "please" their mates.

We wonder what Smarty Jones would say to that.
