Target Marketing?

I'm riding the stationary bike tonight and watching Ultra Extremely Extreme Cage Fighting (kinda like the UFC without the budget). I know, it's violent, but it relaxes me.

Anywhoo, I typically don't pay too much attention to the commercials because I use that time to crank up the tension and hammer as fast as I can. But tonight, I noticed two different "male enhancement" commercials. One was for a pump and the other a pill. Are people (guys) who watch MMA the target audience for such products? Do guys who watch MMA have little wangs? Does watching this make my wang shrink? It occurred to me how they target the watchers of these events with products they may want.

What about the guys in these commercials? I wouldn't want to be an actor and be known as the guy in the male enhancement commercial. What a stigma! I could see it now, "Hey here comes the guy in the small penis ad"! They don't differentiate wheter these are actual users or paid actors. Hmmmmmm. If my agent brought me this gig, I would not only turn it down, but probably look for a new agent. But I guess in this economy work is work.
