Viagara Commercial, "the age of knowing what to do"

[Indian Falls]

Ha!!!  Keep an eye out for this one! 
So I'm watching this commercial with a sailboat, where the main sheet bail breaks and the skipper, cool, calm, collected, rectified the problem in short order all the while the narrator is going on about how "this is the age of knowing what to do... " then the scene cuts to sailing and the jib is back winded like a heave to, but it's let out to the other side of the boat with the jib sheet pulling to the windward side and the sail plastered up against the shrouds.  The irony is killing me!
Maybe he knows how to take viagara but he looks like he's at the age of don't no sheet!   Am I the only one who notices this stuff?  And I would like to add that I was only paying attention to the commercial because of the sailing.. really...   I got no problems...  :-)

Classic! Thanks for reminding me why I don't own a television!

Dan,

My wife and I saw that commercial after the Patriots Tebow-ning of the Broncos last night and we both noticed the jib at the same time and made the same comment about it being sheeted on the starboard side.

So if the block failed under those light conditions, I'd ask what else is going to fail if the winds gets stronger??? He might want to think a bit more about his preventative maintenance and less about the 'apres sail'...

I think this commercial was discussed/disected on Sailing Anarchy.  If you look closely next time you will see that the boat is being towed.

[Jim Hardesty]

You don't see the real reason for filming a sailboat.  Some advertising executive got a few boat payments for using his sailboat in the commercial.  The commercial is aimed at powerboaters with stick envy.  Do sailors really need Viagra?
Could go on and on.

All their commercials are stupid...   No one would seriously believe that a single 20 oz bottle of designer water in a radiator could get a car all the way across a desert and home.  And as for the guy pulling the horse trailer on a "road" that's just tire tracks across a zillion acres of pasture...Why didn't he just go AROUND the mud hole????

New York ad agency people really do NOT live in the real world!   I remember a billboard ad in the late '70s or early '80s featuring the Marlboro man lighting his cigarette with a Coleman lantern he was holding in his bare hand. If that had been a real Coleman lantern, the Marlboro man would have needed half a dozen skin graft surgeries on that hand!

Viagra does funny things to the mind! 

[Indian Falls]

No one asked why you would need viagara while....  "single handing".... oops

"Hello? Towboat US?  It's going to take 5 hours to get back and I've had "this thing" for more than four hours! 

[Ron Hill]

Dan : I do believe the guy with the 4 hour problem has atleast a PAN PAN, if not a valid female MAYDAY.

Think we need to change the topic!!

Think we need to change the topic!!

Uhm...to what, Cialis? 

[Ted Pounds]

ROTFLMAO!!!      (BTW I just saw that commercial and had to rewind it because I couldn't believe what I was seeing...)

[Lance Jones]

The Cialis commercial has that backwinded J-boat turn into the love shack C-34!

[Steve Sayian]

Standard or tall rig???

[Lance Jones]

Tall -- VERY Tall!

I always take these commercials quite seriously and in fact have just competed the installation suggested in the following link. I did have a little difficulty working around the keel bolts.  Make sure to watch to the end.
