What's with the latest Viagra ad ?

It's always nice, and so unusual, to see sailing featured in a major national ad. The guy is smoothly single handing a 30 something footer, it's a beautiful scene, then the main block breaks ... but he's so manly he quickly and calmly effects a repair, always under control, what a cool dude ... But the spot ends with his boat being towed and the genoa backwinded against the spreaders? WTF??? How many zillions of dollars did they spend producing, then running, an ad like that? And then screw it up so badly?

For a mere $25K I'd have been happy to vet the ad and make sure they got it right.
