So I'm getting ready to put up a nasty post about the Superbowl Levitra commercials -- a subject I figured was pretty unlikely to attract the attention of anyone else, right?
Anyway, my gripe is slightly different than Meryl's, though I completely agree with her on hers. I just think it's really, really dumb (not to mention offensive) for a drug company to do a major diss on baseball, especially on a day when a good chunk of the sports fans watching are a) mostly interested in the commercials, b) mostly interested in an excuse to party or c) mostly don't have a lot else to do. In other words, many of the SB viewers (e.g., moi) are not hard-core football fans who'd relish any old cheap shot at a sport that tends to leave a little less blood on the field.
Besides, I'd take a good right fielder over a quarterback in the "real man" department any day of the week. As long as he doesn't chew this stuff, that is.
