Piss off commercials

I first met my current reg. doctor.(a few years ago) ---(he replaced one that retired early because of obama care).
I was in for a big pain in my back. This new doc. looked right at me and asked if I wanted pain meds. I said no-- and liked him from the get-go for that learning look and question he gave me. --He was a get to the bottom line sort.
Fast forward and I have had two corrective surgeries for my back pain that have me standing upright and healing by the day. I am not on any pain meds (or any other prescribed meds for that matter).
When I see an ad on tv for a prescribed drug the last thing I want to see is the looking in my eyes from my doctor if I asked for a prescription for---XYZ drug. I chose to save us both the embarrassment of the question.

I'm all for letting the advertisers fall as they will in their craft.

Most ads I see are just cartoons. I can see one 10 times and still not know what they are selling.:realcrazy:

Amoro and other drugs. Breathe easier, then ****, black out, and maybe drop dead. Side effects worse than problem.

First off, regarding your "synopsis" of "Breathe easier, then ****, black out, and maybe drop dead." I have to say:
:rofl:
A friend of mine and I have fun with those, sometimes exaggerating the side effects a bit, but always laughing our asses off.
Example: "XYZ drug-for clearer skin"
May cause vomiting, diarrhea, heart palpitations, dehydration, seizures and fainting. Do not drive or operate chainsaws until you know how XYZ will affect you. In rare cases, XYZ drug has caused cancer. Some male users report their penis has spontaneously fallen off after using XYZ. Consult you doctor if you have been in certain locations where crotch rot is common...
and then they end with butterflies and rainbows with corresponding lovely music and a happy family. :rolleyes:
 
Belsomra. Wake up paralyzed? Only lasts for 2 minutes though. Suicidal thoughts.

I do wonder about that, Steve.
Tell your Doctor about "Afuxinn"....
There are some Doctors that are not aware of all the new medications that become available. Some Doctors are ahead of the curve, some are not. Every profession has people that are proactive and learn all that they can about new tools, new medicine, new procedures....AND the lazy, time clock puncher types that have no interest in improving themselves.

And, there is the old joke:

Q: What do you call a med student that graduates with a C average?


A: Doctor
 
Harvoni. All the heavy drug users from the 60's have hep c now. Big market for the aging Libs.
 
Chantix. The weak minded are heros now. I quit in 1984. No Chantix. No gum. No pixie dust. No bullshit. Just willpower.
 
I despise the commercials with a kid talking to an adult about (pick a topic) in a super-condescending manner, as if the child is aware and worldwise, while the adult is a knuckle-dragging moron. That just makes me want to smack the kid into next Tuesday.

Same with any singing kid commercial.
 
Like the one where the Dad is reading a newspaper. 20 something who lives in the basement scoffs at him. These kids are are so smart compare to us.
 
I've always had an attitude about "marketing" people.
We have a local junk furniture chain where an obnoxious guy screams about entire rooms of furniture for $199 while they show pictures of trash furniture. The real kicker is they always show the ad in the early morning while I'm are trying to get a cup of coffee and wake up.
But -
If you really want to get me going, show me an insurance company ad when they say "accident forgiveness".
 
This one grates on me.

Sorry Dennis H, but I'm in the medical field, and just turned 56, don't have Hep C, but I can tell you there are ways that it has been contracted by people in my age group that are relatively innocent, given the "party environment" of the 80s, and I'm not talking about needles or sex...
If anyone ever "shared" a coke straw to do a line, even once, that is one way to contract Hep C.
I can also tell you if the government would have spent 25% of the money they spent on ads targeting "gays" and HIV on warning the public about how Hep C could be contracted, a LOT LESS people would have been infected, but straight white people didn't/don't fall into "protected class status" so they decided it wasn't "worth it."

Ok, this one in the NY/NJ area has really got my stomach sick. This dude gets stuck outside his hotel room in his underpants, and the housekeeper gal unlocks his door while giving him the eye. Then, his photo is on the news so everyone is wetting their panties over it. Firstly, it's a sexist commercial; what if they had the same with a gal in her bra & panties ????? The feminazis would be howling.
