The best commercial to run during the 2010 winter Olympics begins like this: “In 2006, Jong Don and Jong How…”
“… an unprecedented throw…”
“… went terribly wrong…”
“Nobody thought they could continue…”
“… but they did more than continue… they won the silver medal.”
Cry! But the minute you gather your wits to celebrate their skating victory in honor of Visa, the only card accepted at the Olympic games, you hear the following voiceover:
“I’m at the doctor getting my shoulder looked at…”
“… as we’re finishing up I mention I’m going to the bathroom more often…”
“And my doctor checks it out — good thing — turns out my urinary symptoms are due to BPH, also called Enlarged Prostate.”
“My doctor says over time, Avodart has been known to shrink the prostate and improve urinary symptoms…”
And finally the patient’s voiceover warns the commercial audience, “Tell your doctor if you have side effects, such as swelling of the breasts.”

February 22, 2010 at 9:24 amBahaha! That was a coffee-spit-out closer Bossy! Gold medal to you!
The Domestic Goddess says
February 22, 2010 at 9:27 amBreast swelling? No thanks.
I mean. For men and all.
William says
February 22, 2010 at 9:51 amI wish Visa would have to list their side affects in their commercials…Like Using your visa may cause you to go into debt beyond what you can pay, Most prostitutes do not accept Visa. If you use your VISA for more than four hours you should call an attorney.

February 22, 2010 at 9:52 amBOSSY gets right to the heart (and soul and spleen and prostate) of every hard hitting issue!
I am glad BOSSY is there to explain it all for me.
Shelley says
February 22, 2010 at 9:57 amHa! William’s comment is awesome. My favorite Visa Olympic commerical is the one about Dan Jansen and how his sister died and he promised her he’d win and then he fell down in his race. Then at the next Olympics, he won the gold and did a victory lap carrying his baby daughter, who was named after his sister. *sob*

February 22, 2010 at 10:08 amSooooo, breasts get larger as prostate gets smaller…who cares, pissed myself reading this….I’m cured! Thanks so much!

La Suzette says
February 22, 2010 at 12:50 pmI dub thee Bossy, “Best in Show.” I knew there was reason why I wasn’t watching the Olympics, but hell yeah I wish I’d seen that commercial. Can’t believe you were quick enough to tape it!
Mel says
February 22, 2010 at 1:19 pmDavid has to avert his eyes whenever that Visa commercial comes on, and I must admit I don’t care to watch that fall, either. Ouch!
I love how the Avodart commercial voiceover doesn’t say, “So Doc stuck his finger up my bum to have a feel, and then put me on estrogen.” And considering that guy probably made an easy $100K for doing that commercial, I don’t think he’s terribly concerned about where his acting career has gone.
Half Assed Kitchen says
February 22, 2010 at 1:37 pmThat could actually be the pinnacle of his career. National Prostrate Commercial!!! Shown during the Olympics!!
Cactus Petunia says
February 22, 2010 at 1:40 pmHmmm….These are two separate commercials, right? But, wait! You can also pay for your Avodart and prostate exam with Visa, soon to be the only card accepted at your proctologist!
David says
February 22, 2010 at 1:46 pmBossy has clearly never worked as an actor. That is the face of a man who is thinking “In your face, former agent who dropped me after I hit 45, I just bagged a national commercial airing on the Olympics and it just paid for my kid’s freshman year college tuition.”
Cupcake Murphy says

Grandma J says
February 22, 2010 at 3:13 pmGreat post as usual, Bossy!
I love all those prostate commercials. They are almost as funny as the ED commercials…or the one where those women tell their friend Irene to “drop the itch”.
almudena says
February 22, 2010 at 3:58 pmbreast swelling? um, what is that pill called again?
Lisa says
February 22, 2010 at 4:41 pmOh Shelley, Im so with you!!!
Some of those Olympic moments are totally sob-worthy..
commercials–meh.
foolery says
February 22, 2010 at 4:55 pmThe handshake symbolizes “I put my card in the palm of your hand in case you have any breast swelling. Call me.”
Or not, I dunno why I even try. You people are FUN-NY, just like BOSSY. Thanks for the laughs — off to grow up. 😉
meleah rebeccah says
February 22, 2010 at 5:38 pmMeleah thinks Bossy is HILARIOUS.
Reeb says
February 22, 2010 at 6:09 pmMethinks Bossy and her posse are hilarious.
Margie says
February 22, 2010 at 6:12 pmThe January issue of Golf Digest arrived shortly after Tiger’s “accident”. Tiger and the Pres are on the cover and the headline is “10 tips Obama can take from Tiger”. We wondered what Mrs. Pres thought of that one!!
I was glad to know that the actor probably made a bundle by being an Olympian with a famous prostate.
BH says
February 22, 2010 at 7:58 pmYEESH.
and OUCH…
All the way around.
BOSSY says
February 22, 2010 at 8:28 pmHey y’all. Is this comment section broken-ish again?
Mrs. G. says
February 22, 2010 at 9:46 pmYou forgot to mention the decrease in semen. Question for the day: who measures?
Meg says
February 22, 2010 at 9:55 pmYeah, I stopped listening at the breast swelling. Gah.
Heather says
February 22, 2010 at 10:29 pmSemen? Breasts? Those should be xxx’s not rings…
bossy's friend amy says
February 22, 2010 at 11:11 pmholy mother of gah – i think i have an enlarged prostate – i’ve got all those symptoms… including weak stream.
Melanie @ Mel, A Dramatic Mommy says
February 23, 2010 at 2:37 amThe only thing I’ve paid attention to in the Olympics commercials is Morgan Freeman’s voice. But now I’ll pay more attention.

I am Olympic-ed out by now I’m afraid.
…I’m on a horse
Texas Susan says
February 23, 2010 at 11:12 pmLove the Old Spice ads!! I laugh every time.
Maybe they need to put the BPH guy on a horse.

July 29, 2014 at 2:00 amI am really enjoying the theme/design of your website. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility problems? A couple of my blog readers have complained about my website not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any recommendations to help fix this issue?
oakley sunglasses aviator square says
July 29, 2014 at 2:00 amI know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% sure. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it

September 8, 2014 at 8:17 amHowdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

October 16, 2014 at 7:55 pmWith havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My website has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help reduce content from being ripped off? I’d definitely appreciate it.
