ED strikes again?

First we had reptile dysfunction. Then Sprint’s Connectile dysfunction. Now comes TiVo’s turn sorta with their My TiVo gets me site. Couple of spots out too. One here shows Antenna envy, and another shows how much your antenna can grow with the right girlfriend. Guess it apparently is the size of your antenna that counts. Little much with the adult theme for such a universal brand? (Small thing but the TV spot with the guy and his ‘attentive’ antenni doesn’t have a url for My Tivo gets me, just the main tivo.com which leads you to it eventually.)

And all this time I thought it had to do with the size of my hard drive.

So, maybe I'm missing the homage (?) in this new Tivo ad with his girlfriend, but it appears to be a direct ripoff of a recent Viagra commercial where the guy slams a videocassette in to tape the game so he can slam his girlfriend without missing the action. Ahem.

WTF? Are they intentionally riffing on the Viagra ad. Or is it just a poor job of hiding your influences?
