hmmm...
They'er either mis-targeting their audience just a bit a bit or they're VERY optimistic about still being in business when these kids are old.

Never happens here, it's illegal to advertise prescription drugs in Australia, but during late night TV shows, they sometimes advertise phone sex lines, nasal erection spray (non prescription, and apparently it doesn't work), as well as adult dating type lines and websites.
That said, they play some pretty odd stuff on TV late at night, so it would not be out of the question that you could watch Skippy at 4AM, and see an ad as per above.
Disturbing to say the least!

I guess they dont have thier demographic marketing down to perfection in Poland yet.

In the USA if you watch anything for anyone mature enough to ever think about anything beyond the horizon ( news, talk) all you get is tons of ads for perscription meds for old folks (including ED products). Makes you feel even older than you are! Watch dumb stuff like reality TV- and you get ads for young folks ( see your army recruiter, buy this acne medicine, go to our vocational school, etc). At least on cable there is a pronounced difference in the kind of commercials on different kinds of programing. So I doubt you would ever see an viagra commercial on a cartoon show. But if you did- Id hate to be the parent in the room who has to explain what it is to the kiddies.

Maybe the advertisers are thinking some parents are going to be sitting with their children watching the children's television and thinking, "this is great sitting here with my lovely kids, if only I could have a few more", and then the Viagra ad comes on, "that's it! that's what I must buy so I can have some more lovely children to watch the TV with!"

I'm slightly amused when I'm channel-surfing & a feminine product like pads or tampons is advertized during Nick Jr. Girls are hitting puberty really early nowadays. Maybe they figure parents are watching it with their kids. I'm more amused that erection meds were advertized during Hanna Montana sense perverts were getting turned on by her. The guys watching it wouldn't need those meds sense their getting erections from the show. I only watched half of one ep of it but I channel-surf alot.

Hmm... Could be a mistake, often which would receive a complaint from someone... But otherwise over here, it is illegal to advertise for such thing, certain medications can't be advertised, but otherwise can only be shown after watershed times.
