I don't know about ya'll, but I am so beyond sick of hearing about someone having a terminal disease, a cold, an ache or a pain and all the medicines that will make it better but cause any number of OTHER disgusting problems. It's relentless....all day, all night, every channel except HBO and those of course. I mean, I'm sorry there is so much sickness in the world, but having to hear about it 24/7 every time I turn my TV on for entertainment purposes, I don't want to hear about someones gross feet, peeing problems and other assorted yuck. Not to mention the side effects that they so readily rattle off in the middle of your delicious dinner. "Side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, diarrhea WITH vomiting, stomach ache, dizziness.....etc. etc...."
I have to have the remote in my hand at all times just so I can mute it the second a show takes a break because I don't want to be grossed out or depressed. I mean, about 8 years ago, the BIG commercial thing was attorney's....the "IF" commercials. Ya know, "IF you've been injured..." types and I thought THOSE were bad enough, now I wish they'd go back to those. At least they weren't gross.
So, how many people here would like to see an end to these kinds of ads on TV?
