Funny Ad for an App That Helps Fight Porn Addiction
NEW YORK - MARCH 15: Pedestrians pass an adult video store in Times Squre March 15, 2005 in New York City. Sex-related shops have started to make a comeback in Times Square, ten years after former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani began an initiative to force them out of the neighborhood. Strip joints and adult video stores that can afford Times Square rents, and comply with city zoning regulations imposed by the Giuliani administration, are again proliferating in the heart of Manhattan.

A five-minute ad for an app that helps people fight porn addiction has been making the rounds. It uses humor to deal with the awkward subject.
It’s a superhero movie spoof, where each hero has a strength and a weakness. Scorch Man’s strength is fire, but he’s stopped by a fire extinguisher . . . Cat Man always lands on his feet, but he’s rendered helpless by laser pointers.
And then there’s Colossal Man, who’s the strongest man in the world, but his weakness is porn. He’s a handsome married dude who’s fought a losing battle since he was 12 . . . but he started winning when he went to CovenantEyes.com.
