A couple months back, Mr. S. got called in, with his bandmates, to audition for a Viagra commercial.  Yep...Viva Viagra.  From what I understand, every Bluegrass picker in town was there to audition.  I don't know how many in all came to audition, but, out of all those that showed up, only one real Bluegrass Dude was chosen. (It was not the Mister...dammit.)

Please go here to see the new Viagra commercial and see if you recognize anybody.

I think it's pretty dang swell that Uncle Bobo will make him some nice change on this commercial.  What I DON'T get is why on earth they had to bring in actors to be Bluegrass people.  I'm sorry, but, Bluegrass music's got some charming dudes who probably would be able to sell some blue pills.   I'd have loved to see any of the Bluegrass guys on that commercial.  Lord knows Bluegrass pickers enjoy the benefits of the stuff...I could name several who could be poster boys for Viagra, but, I won't cause this is a Christian blog and we don't gossip here.  Bwahahahahahahahahaha!

**Update-I lied...there are a couple real musicians on there I just didn't know them.  Kenny Kosek on fiddle and Eric Weissberg, (he was part of that famous "Dueling Banjos" from Deliverance, ya know...I know of Weissberg, but, obviously wouldn't know him if I ran into him down at the Kmarts.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you with the corniest commercial of the year:

Nothing manlier than sitting in a shed with a bunch of guys singing about what I need to put more lead in my pencil.

As of this post, the different variations of the ad have been viewed more than 200,000, and obviously parodied plenty.

So here's my question to you: does Viagra and its ad agency think this is a legitimate commercial, or is it corny on purpose so we bloggers spread the word? Do you think it works?

I was sent this link, last night, and I thought it was a joke. I'm not sure that it isn't a joke -- but it makes me cringe, regardless.

Unemployment -- with a little perspective -- looks pretty good.
