I decided to do my taxes this afternoon to get it out of the way.  Sometimes, especially on Sundays, I keep Discovery Channel or the History Channel on as mildly interesting background noise.  The History Channel was running a show on the mob and it struck me that the reason the government comes down so hard on them is that they don’t like the competition with regards to shakedown rackets. 

Anyhow, another thing that caught my attention was the selection of commercials that they were running.  I had noticed this last Sunday during MythBusters on Discovery, and it struck me again today.  It seems like running ads for Levitra and Cialis during Sunday afternoon on Discovery Channel and the History Channel is inappropriate at best.  I’ve always seen Discovery and the History Channel as being safe for kids.  If I had kids I’d hate to have to explain the concept of “erectile quality.”  For that matter, who would have ever thought that we’d even find that phrase outside of a medical study or textbook?
