Cough if this feels awkward…

During the most recent broadcast of ABC’s comedy, “Cougar Town“,  starring Courtney Cox (“Friends” and all the “Scream” movies) as the resident Cougar, there was a commercial by one of the world’s leading mentholated cough drop companies.  It’s a commercial that has generated a lot of attention for it’s somewhat lurid storyline.

A middle-aged mom is helping move her son into his dorm room, and the son’s nerdy roommate offers her a Halls Refresh lozenge and from that point on it gets a bit sexual,  though through entendre, a porn-fed voice over and some strong eye contact.

Not surprisingly an obscure organization called, The American Decency Association, cites these kind of commercials as fueling the acceptance of young ones and old ones getting it on.  Please keep in mind that this isn’t a Courtney Cox MILF and a Abercrombie & Fitch calender boy. It’s a fairly plain middle-aged woman and an very young Asian nerd.

That’s apparently what the ad agency considered funny.  A chance to watch two groups no one would ever find enticing,  if not lustily inflamed by the juicy lozenge.  Have a look.
