Louisville and erectile-dysfunction

I recently read an article which showed videos for the latest television commercials for Louisville, Kentucky. I am still on the fence whether or not I like them. They are interesting because they make fun of commercials for erectile-dysfunction, depression medications, and even risque tatoos. Though I feel that these target a younger crowd, and yes they are very humorous, I am unsure if they should be shown on the air. Then again, I hate that I have to see tv ads for erectile disfunction all of the time. We are an over-medicated country, and all the evidence is in our television commercials. The ads showcase people of all races, religions, etc. and do not have any particular issues with minorities or diversity at all. I am just sick of watching commercials with two older people in tubs in the middle of nature (which I still don't quite understand) that promote medications for better sex drives or male enlargement. Check out the videos and tell me what you think- there's no doubt they are funny, but do you think they go a little too far?: http://travel.aol.com/travel-ideas/articles/louisville-ads-draw-criticism?ncid=AOLCOMMtravdynlprim0641
