One of the cable channels is playing the classic movie Miracle on 34th Street during prime time for several consecutive nights this week. How wonderful, I thought, to give such exposure to one of the great Christmas classics, especially in these times of truly disgusting movies such as Borat. Something for the whole family to watch.
So I watched it. The movie was as good as I remember. But the commercials... One was for Erectile Dysfunction and another for controlling transmission of Herpes during sex.
Does anyone but me see anything wrong with this? What were they thinking? Perhaps that no child raised on today's cable television and Hollywood movies would ever sit through Miracle on 34th Street, so the only ones watching it would be the fifty somethings trying to remember when the world was much more innocent and full of hope?
