Oh, so THAT’S why they sell penis enlarging pills on TV

Via Bloomberg:

U.S. TV broadcasters, struggling to replace a 20 percent drop in automotive advertising revenue, are turning to pawn shops, plastic surgeons and other nontraditional sources to fill airtime.

Local station owners like Nexstar Broadcasting Group Inc. and Gray Television Inc., whose revenue dropped after bankrupt General Motors Corp. and local dealers slashed marketing, are selling mortgage brokers and even landscapers on the notion that TV is affordable.

I call B.S. Local stations have been running crappy commercials for as long as I’ve been alive. And they take money from anyone who will pay them a buck, including people bushing miracle cures, get rich quick schemes and penis enlargers.

And they were doing this back before the economy tanked. And now they blame the collapsing auto industry.

    I know TV stations have long ran crappy commercials late at night, but I am starting to see more of them during the prime time evening hours. Perhaps that’s what they mean?

    Bigger penises, smaller asses, fewer wrinkles, clearer complexions, whiter teeth, more hair, etc. All big business and a sad commentary on today’s societal priorities.

    you realize that enzte was busted for fraud over a year ago and yet still advertises on tv, so if you watch tv you are enabling corporate fraud.
