New York Magazine, 2/2/98 issue, p. 16 The Critic's Eye: "Scrimmage Makeover--Where Have All the Macho Super Bowl Commercials Gone?" by Barbara Lippert [Final Paragraph of story:] "Ironically, the only spot that spoke directly to men was rejected by NBC censors. ATTENTION IMPOTENT MEN, ALL 20 MILLION OF YOU, the ad begins, using scrolling text, like a last-minute bankruptcy sale ad. It's a pitch for a new penile micro-suppository drug called "Muse". Though the spot can be seen on CBS in prime time, NBC ruled that the Super Bowl wasn't a correct venue for a product involving "erectile dysfunction". For now, censors are keeping that erectile-tissue issue away from the Bowl; they'd rather let frogs fry."
