Advertising has a long history of creating problems to sell you a solution. But it's just so insidious nowadays. And it seems to be targeting people at a deeper level.

These ED commercials are just so awful.

Wife ignoring you? Men at work not respecting you? Feel lonely? Also women are definitely judging you. They all KNOW you are inadequate.

It's probably because you can't produce an erection for 4 hours straight at the snap of your fingers.

They don't care that this causes cultural and society problems. They just want money.
