Erectile dysfunction TV ad banned in Egypt

We read:
"A TV advertisement for erectile dysfunction medication has been banned in Egypt after viewers protested about its use of a popular song. Keep the Weapon Awake was penned in 1973 by Egyptian poet Ahmed Shafiq Kamel to rouse Egyptians during the Arab-Israeli 1973 war when the Israeli army reached the Suez Canal, Egyptian daily Al-Masry Al-Yom reported.

One Egyptian satellite television owner, who said his station had stopped airing the advertisement, described it as "annoying and not right", the newspaper reported.

Many Egyptians take great pride in the 1973 war, which eventually led to an Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty and Israel's withdrawal from Egyptian territories it captured in 1967.

Hello Good Gentles All!

"Many Egyptians take great pride in the 1973 war,..."

This has always amazed me how the Egyptians have been able to delude themselves about what actually happened.

Far from distinguishing itself in that fight, the Egyptian army had its backside handed to it by the IDF.

Well Pax, reality is not always as comfortable as a good illusion. Just ask 51% of the American voters.

I really don't think that erectile dysfunction is the problem considering the rate at which they're pumping out little Muslim babies.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects the lives of many middle-aged men and their partners to one extent or another. The term erectile dysfunction, previously known as impotence, covers a wide range of disorders, but usually refers to the inability of a man to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient enough to fulfill his own sexual needs or those of his partner. http://www.buy-viagra-with-us.com/
