A Pair of Potent Potables

I usually wouldn't put two videos into the same post, but while listening to music last night these wound up together in my mp3 jukebox. I'm not for sure what they had in common other than the very obvious unless it was grouped by artist. I still thought it funny.

It just goes to show you how far aphrodisiac songwriting had advanced in a couple of decades. At least there was music; now all we have are adverts about Viagra and "the little blue pill".

(my favorite was the older gentleman trying to throw the football through the tire and failing. Once he takes the pill, he becomes Troy Aikman, zipping it through the tire each time with vim and vigor--which mean the same thing, I think. I was always amused at the suggestive allegory but on the other hand was disturbed by the symbols used. I wouldn't think being compared to a swinging ol' rubber tire that's been driven for 25,000 miles would be flattering, and the shape of the football, if thought of in that context, would be quite scary, indeed)

A quick search through YouTube found the videos. Whatever you do, please don't play them at the same time; it may very well trigger the Apocalypse.
