Subliminal Medical Advertising?

Posted by WhiteCoat on October 5, 2007

Good drug, but who screens these ads?
Is the size and coloring of the object in the background a little … peculiar?
Or was this originally an ad for Viagra that was changed at the last minute?

    Not only does it look like a wang, it looks like a middle finger too.

  2. Abby Says:

    I think its suppose to be a paintbrush, but that’s what I thought too, a middle finger.

  3. SeaSpray Says:

    It looks like an elongated nipple on a baby bottle- but then I am thinking about babies today because our youngest son is 19 today.

    Actually, I thinking about babies and knee pain…but I digress.

    I am drawn to this add because of the pretty aqua color. since you mentioned viagra though…it looks more like a phallic symbol than anything! :)

    it’s the top of an easel.

    Yeah, what the hell is that? It def. does not belong.

  6. SeaSpray Says:

    It IS the top of an easel but it is just so off the mark for this add.

    Nurse K, not only do you make me laugh on your blog, you make me laugh on my blog.
    You guys are all great! Thanks for your contributions.

  8. Nurse K Says:

    I stand in the shadow of your greatness, doctor. I am not worthy of your praise.

    Perhaps that is her “next canvas.”

    Maybe the most unsubtle ad ever is on TV lately: a construction worker troubled with constipation. As he extols the virtues of some fiber product or another, a dump truck backs into the frame and unloades several barrel-shaped objects. Really. Surely it will win some sort of award, sometime.

  11. makeminetrauma Says:

    Yes, Sid!! That is not the only inuendo in that commercial, next time you see it, there are several suggestive situations!

    I think it looks like a shovel dug into the dirt! Makes the mind boggle some what?
