'Painfully Awkward' Rob Lowe Commercial Under Fire From Shy Bladder Support Group

TV Show News:DirecTV's new commercials featuring Rob Lowe alongside bizarre alternate versions of himself are being attacked by an organization that claims one of the ads is mocking a serious health problem.

The spot above centers around "Painfully Awkward Rob Lowe," a fanny-pack wearing version of the actor who says he can't "go" with other people around. But the International Paruresis Association says shy bladder is a real phobia, not something to mock.

"We don't mind if people have a little fun with it," Steve Soifer, the organization's CEO, told The Associated Press. "It's a situation that a lot of people don't understand. In this particular case, the portrayal is making it look ridiculous, that this guy is a loser for having a problem."

The organization says 21 million Americans suffer from the condition, which is more formally known as avoidant paruresis.

"Often referred to as Pee-Shy, Shy-Bladder, Bashful Bladder, etc., avoidant paruresis is nothing to be ashamed of," the group says on its website.

Soifer is calling on DirecTV to pull the plug on the commercials, but the provider was pretty direct with its response.

“The ads will continue to run for the vast majority of viewers who have told us they enjoy the spots and understand that, like all of our commercials, they take place in a fantasy world and are not based in reality,” DirecTV spokesman Darris Gringeri told AP.

Leaked 'Game Of Thrones' Season 5 Video Reveals Another (Spoiler!) Brutal Wedding Scene

TV Show News:
(Major spoilers for "Game of Thrones" Season 5 and from the books follow. You have been warned!)

The first set of photos appeared to be from the Meereenese storyline from Season 5 and stirred up speculation over Tyrion's storyline in the upcoming season. As Vanity Fair reported, the photos revealed that Tyrion would be meeting up with Dany much sooner than anticipated in the series.

The second group of photos showed Dany, Jorah, Daario and Missendei in Daznak’s Pit, the biggest fighting pits in Meereen, which reopen to celebrate Dany's wedding to Hizdahr zo Loraq (yup, she gets married again). These photos likely allude to a big sequence from the books, when Dany's unrestrained and previously escaped dragon Drogon (the one who burned all the livestock last season) returns to kill a bunch of Unsullied warriors and leave with Dany on his back.

Now, we have video footage of Drogon breathing fire on a group of Unsullied (sans the actual CG dragon), thanks to Spanish "GoT" fan site, Los Siete Reinos. It's a pretty awesome shot, and it even transitions to slow-motion to show the stuntmen battling the flames. Check out the video, which will be another "Game of Thrones" wedding celebration turned traumatic and bloody -- what else do you expect?
