The need for stool softeners in this country is great. The product aims to let people feel themselves again after they take it. I get it. Life is too short to have wait days before emptying your bowels.
I am, however, perplexed at the timing of stool softener commercials. They usually air while I am sitting down at the dinner table. I like to watch television while eating my steak and mashed potatoes, but do not enjoy seeing the advertisement for the stool softener while i dip my steak chunk into the A1 sauce. I swirl it around quicky and try to tear my eyes away from the screen. That is easy to do, but I can't block out the voice of the man who is a proponent of this stool softener. He is so eloquent and convincing that he makes you wish for a week of constipation so that you can try the lil pill.
Stool softener commercials should air at two in the morning. At that time of the night there may be a poor soul struggling in the bathroom to release his inner waste. Surely he would listen then and it would be too late to lose his lunch.
