The Estrous Ailment Veil

I consider myself, a some what cynical person. I do not feel that this is negativity on my part. I can be humorous and friendly, however life as a subject does not encourage me to throw shapes.

In contrast, from 9 o'clock in the morning, until 3 o'clock in the afternoon on a week day, if you use your television remote, life becomes some kind of enthusiastic muliebrity montage.

This daytime smile-a-thon takes an unusual but persistent tone though. Please help me understand this.

Now as far as I am aware, the dilemma associated to this advert, is not a celebration of any kind. But when you see the television advert, the music plays, the pretty lady poses carefree, and dances, life is a basket of puppies and somewhere, almost subliminally you will hear the faint whisper of 'Bladder Weakness'. you wouldn't have known what you had just heard, too busy being impressed by the ladies salsa moves. However if you do ever come to suffer such a problem, somewhere in your mind, this advert will remain.

I could probably well digest one of these adverts. It is proof of power advertising, what I cannot digest is when it becomes a daily cerebral pummelling. Apparently these ladies have similar digestion issues.


That is a glamorous stool softener. the television advert for this product takes the somewhat chilling guise of a girly chat in a restaurant. Champions for stool softening, Adversaries of lunch time etiquette apparently. If any of my friends took out that box at the dinner table and started to explain its use, I would likely lock them in the toilet, thus solving the problem. Lest we forget that the viewers are watching this advert whilst eating their own lunch. If you did suffer such a problem, and were cautiously consuming your ham sandwich, the last thing you would want, would be four joy machines discussing the thing you're trying to repress.

So allow me to explain my discourse, Paracetamol/Ibruprofen in it's basic form, provides excellent relief for pain. When you switch on the television, you may see branded specific pain remedies, you do not see any glamorous advertising of the basic ingredient though. Reason, what can you say about paracetamol. It is about as exciting as tying your shoe laces. The products above are of the same caliber.

These things are an exploitation. There is no round of applause for creating the appearance that women spend all day discussing Pads, Break ups and fashion. There is no glory in that. (see Shovel and a Paving Slab)

I know a great deal of intelligent, erudite women. They are beautiful and funny. Granted we do not spend everyday discussing the works of Sophocles, however, their is an understanding that bowel movements/or the lack of are not a regular on the social agenda.

My suggestion is that those responsible for our viewing pleasure, slow the jazzy discomfort tide.

Let people eat lunch in peace.
