Health Watch: Anyone Else Worried about How Valtrex Commercials are All Over TV?

If you watch any television at all, I’m sure you’ve seen one of the many Valtrex commercials. Actually, you’ve probably seen a lot of them – they’re on all of the time lately. And… If you are at all familiar with target marketing, you understand that those advertisements are not just there for us non-herpes having individuals to giggle and make jokes to the person sitting next to us. Valtrex paid good money for those ads, and they’re expecting a return on their investment.
So what does that mean? It means that they have statistical data (not just guessing) that is telling them that there’s a large audience out there with Herpes. Not just a large general audience, but a large audience that fits into your demographic area/type. For example, if you’re a girl from New York that likes watching those stupid Sex and the City re-runs and you see a lot of herpes commercials, then marketing companies must have gathered some info that girls form New York in your age range are likely to be on the herpes side of life.
Please note: If you’re a reader and have Herpes, don’t be offended. You should actually feel a sense of comfort by seeing that there’s many out there like you.
Anyway, for everyone out there who has not caught the socially disastrous virus – this recent increase in Valtrex advertising should raise concern. Personally, after seeing so many commercials I got checked, and I’m 100% clean (female readers gasp a sigh of relief - just kidding). But I don’t recommend being naïve about it, so after getting checked, follow my advice.
Watch tv that a lot of females watch (just for experimental purposes). And girls, you do the opposite (watch football or something). Look to see what television shows are showing the most herpes commercials – I could see Real World showing a lot. Now, if you’re out at a bar talking to a girl, find out what she watches on tv – If she watches a high herpes commercial show, then there’s a chance she could be a burner.
Now, you’re going to run into lots of members of the opposite sex that fit into these categories, so I’m not saying to run away from them – but, that could be your guide on how safe you are to move further in the one night relationship later that night.
In reality, the rule I just suggested to follow is probably really stupid and highly inaccurate, but in your drunken stupor at 4 in the morning on a Saturday night, it might make sense for some reason and I might save you from an STD… You’re welcome.
