Default Advertisers Gone Too Far

I don't watch much TV but we were watching something - don't remember what but a commercial for K-Y came on. (The one with a man and woman sitting on a bed talking about their lifestyle.) I didn't really pay much attention to it but DDs did.

DD18 asked me what that was. OMG! I've always been as honest as I can about sex without going in to details and such. But to have to sit there and think how the heck do I explain this to DD18 and DD16 stumped me. They know the basics but to have to explain additives. So, I told them the truth, it was a sex kind of thing/lubricant.

DD18 freaked out. She was horrified that they would advertise on TV and don't they know that kids watch TV, and it's prime time TV. . .on and on she went in a small rant. At the end of her horrified rant she said, "Mom, I thought it was a technical thing. You know, like a new kind of PDA or cellphone." LOL. The good news is that neither of DDs knew what it was.

What is up with these kinds of commercials?
