I can’t imagine the pope sitting around watching much Polish television, for some reason.

Did they ban Viagra ads too?

I’m with R.E. Earl on the constant ads for aids to or cures for bodily functions. That includes:

- the toenail fungus creature

- the bears crossing their legs and grabbing hunks of toilet paper

- superabsorbent pads of any kind, no matter what they are supposed to be absorbing

- the discussion of bowels in all their tribulations - plugged up or overactive

- the people who stuff themselves full of fatty food and then take indigestion tablets so they can stuff themselves some more

- the 72-hour boner pills which confine the person to the house as a stud-prisoner (and I can’t imagine WHY those stupid women are grinning and being all coy). I wouldn’t want to do ANYTHING for 72 hours straight, even if it was enjoyable to start off with. Sounds like a weekend from hell.

- using sex to sell stuff that has nothing to do with sex.

I forgot to mention in my post, however, that I too find ads offensive for tampons, pads, condoms, “feminine hygiene” products, toilet paper, most OTC and prescription drugs.

Why? Because they’re completely unnecessary… especially while I’m trying to eat my evening meal! Can’t people learn about what product suits their personal needs by asking their doctor or pharmacist? Can’t the MILLIONS spend on ads be redirected to reduce the cost so that we don’t have to pay a buck for a roll of toilet paper?

You can add to that list those STUPID, ASSININE ads for almost all vehicles. Not only do they all look alike but to my knowledge, none of them flies through the air or skids sideways across a desert. What, exactly, is the point of advertising what a product cannot do?

Right on, R.A. Earl!  I wish I could be around when Christianity takes its final bow.  I would especially love to see the Catholics’ fall from grace.

And just how do the people of Poland believe the Pope arrived into this world? or anyone for that matter…..for crying out loud.  Good grief, it’s a fact of life…...deal with it.  Glad to be NOT one of the ‘faithful’ rubber stamped ‘believers’.  I can think for myself thank you.

I’m with “big Dave from Queens”... the Pope and entourage symbolize one of the biggest cons and scams on the face of the earth, and to watch how the masses (pun intended) follow around like love-sick puppies nearly makes me puke.

Just as we laugh now at anyone who still believes in Zeus, generations to come will think us all moronic fools for buying this Christian claptrap.

And they will be correct.

“... A Polish town has banned the advertisement of tampons, among other things, during the pope’s upcoming visit. Apparently a reference to a woman’s reproductive system makes the Church squeamish. ...”

Excuse me… yo, over here!  If it wasn’t for a woman’s reproductive system there would be NO CHURCH!  Thank me for pointing this out!

re banned ads for tampons ..alcohol..lingerie and contraception…..hmmmmm hymen and hymns….Thank God for the Liberation of the Buddha and the emancipation of women.

Why are right wing cultish lunatics referred to as “the faithful.”  How about referring to these fools as “the soulless, the brainwashed, the immoral sheep, etc…”
