This commercial has come on at least twice while sitting in the living room with my parents, which could not have been more awkward. I couldn't find it on youtube, but the link has a simple streaming video embedded:

"Sex After menopause? It shouldn't have to hurt."



"Lubricants can't do that..."



"Unusual vaginal bleeding...vaginal discharge"

I don't doubt that it's a legitimate problem, but I think they went a bit too far. Or maybe I should stop watching 60 Minutes with my parents on Sundays.

"unusual vaginal bleeding" = great band name

Finland seems like a the most likely scene to include the word "unusual" in a song title, thinking it gets used all the time in English to suggest something like darkness :redneck:

It's only a matter of time before we begin hearing stories of how Osphena is tearing families apart.
