Are you nuts? Basically every commercial does this. First example off the top of my head (that took me half a second to come up with): State Farm commercial where guy crashes his car into a telephone poll and has to crawl back to the empowered female insurance chick for help and fails at holding back his tears. Or basically every beer commercial ("come talk to me when you want a
real light beer").
A majority of commercials portray people as hapless schmucks completely dependent on and helpless without the product being peddled. If anything, ED/herpes commercials are some of the few that actually show people in a positive light out living a normal, happy life.
