Let’s just say I took this story from a friend. It’s too funny not to share.

I’m sure we’ve all seen those really long genital herpes commercials by now, you know the: I have genital herpes, and I don’t, and we’d like to keep it that way shtick. I also think we can all agree that genital herpes is a very funny subject for anyone who doesn’t have it, and these commercials usually just drive that point home. There is, however, a time when you do not find these commercials amusing…

While getting it on the other day with her newest boytoy the television was left on Spike TV, for the CSI reruns of course. Well things are starting to get hot and heavy, and one of these friggin commercials comes on and of course you can’t help but hear it. Talk about a mood killer. As if it wasn’t akward enough the commercial goes into how you can still get genital herpes even when your partner shows no signs or symptoms, blah, blah, blah, and even with a condom it is still possible to spread genital herpes. What do you say to that? Do you stop? Do you try to ignore it? Do you laugh about it? I just don’t think there’s a right answer here.

So fast forward a bit and my friend is getting serviced, so to speak. While enjoying herself immensely the commercial comes on AGAIN. She was determined not to let this commercial ruin her good time, but that is all she can think about while her mechanic is doing his work. He didn’t seem to mind that the commercial was on, if he even heard it, but what a downer for her. Finally she decides it’s time to do something about it, so she fumbles for the remote and proceeds to change the channel. He looks up from his work, probably wondering why the hell she is changing the channel, so she puts down the remote and let’s him continue. In hindsight it probably would have made more sense to turn the TV off, but hearing the roomate snoring through the walls isn’t exactly a pleasure enhancer either.
