Techopedia explains Connectile Dysfunction
Connectile dysfunction is one of those slang terms that fits so well that it quickly catches on. In fact, the concept of connectile dysfunction was at heart of a viral advertising campaign by Sprint in 2007. People could read stories about others with connectile dysfunction, get help (a Sprint mobile contract) and even refer a friend to the online treatment center. Sprint’s campaign also used a series of humorous television ads, including a SuperBowl ad that became a modest hit on the Web. Connectile dysfunction is no laughing matter, but the ads are pretty funny.
