So as some of you may or may not know I work in advertising. I have a new commercial we're having trouble getting through the TV Broadcast Standards board because it has risque content. Keep in mind it is only airing after 9pm during shows that have a large 19-25 male viewership.

Anyway the Standards people are worried because we imply there is an erection on a guy. (all I can tell you about the commercial is it's done in a joking manner and is meant for male audiences)

Apparently you are not allowed to imply male erection in advertisements even when they air after 9pm on programming meant for people over 18.

This is the actual conversation I had with my boss.

me: I don't understand because we don't show anything. The guy just looks at a picture of a hot chick and then looks down. We don't even shoot him below the waist.
Boss: But when he looks down we are implying he is looking at his hard penis.
Me: So let me get this straight. I can watch Justin simulate oral sex on Brian's rock hard cock in a television program but I can't see a guy in an ad during a TV show look down at his waist because his cock might be hard?
Boss: Correct. (pause) Who are Brian and Justin and what the hell are you watching?!
