I'm seeing a resurgence of commercials for genital warts/genital herpes drugs on television. It's the usual "life is so much better now that I've discovered this drug!" commercial, with lots of young and athletic people running around having the time of their lives now that things are perfect because they've been healed by this drug.

The thing is, these people are proudly proclaiming that this drug has lessened their genital warts and/or genital herpes problems. Granted, they are actors, and my actor friends tell me that commercials are one of best things that you can get because they're played often all over the country and you get tons of money each time one is aired. However, would you honestly want to be possibly recognized for playing a person who's got genital warts or genital herpes? Suppose you're sitting in a bar somewhere, you're talking to a member of the opposite sex, you're having a good time and you're interested in this person, then your commercial comes on on the TV above the bar and this person sees you on TV proudly telling everyone in the bar and within the broadcast area that your genital problems are being cured by this miracle drug. Or you're dating Commercial Boy or Commercial Girl, take them to your company holiday party or out with friends, and your co-workers or friends tell your date that they vaguely recognize him/her...

Personally, I think I could be a proud shill for NinjaBurger. I mean, with a slogan like "No other fast-food chain has the Dim-Mak Death Touch," I'd be pretty damn proud if my commercial came on TV while I was at a bar.
