You'd think the opposite would be a better option.

At work, during the lunch hour, I see a lot of different types of people in from their respective workplaces. Some are from the Staples or Babies 'R' Us stores nearby, while others are more business class.

Today, there was a particularly odd businesswoman in getting a cup of tea.

She was young - maybe mid to late 20's, blonde and pretty darn attractive. She was wearing one of those dark grey pantsuits.

She was also wearing a rather large name badge, or rather what I thought was a name badge until she came up closer to the counter to retrieve the tea I had just made her. What I previously mentioned what I thought was a very large name badge was not a very large name badge, but was rather a large badge advertising the drug Cialis (I love how awkward and long this sentence is).

The conclusion I drew from the Cialis badge was that she was a drug representative, responsible for pushing the latest and greatest pharmaceutical products. Normally, of course, it would be incredibly wise to have the face of the company be a young, attractive female. But then, I thought, the drug is Cialis. And, being an attractive young female, she wouldn't be the best person to sell this drug due to the fact that she wouldn't normally need to administer the drug to get the...desired effect.

On the other hand, I think that it would be wiser to have a dumpy-looking middle-aged woman sell the drug to push the effectiveness of Cialis.

If a man took the drug and became aroused while looking at the young attractive girl, the man could claim that, well, that was very probably going to happen anyway and would doubt the effectiveness of the drug.

If a man, on the other hand, took the drug and became aroused while looking at the dumpy middle-aged woman, then the man would clearly see that arousal would very probably not have happened anyway, affirm the effectiveness of the drug, and buy ten cases, being thrilled to have an answer to the problem of not being able to make love to his own dumpy middle-aged wife at home.




These drug rep executive-types need to think more subversively when it comes to shoving pills down our throats. Get with it!
