Don't ya just love
 
these medical commercials on radio and tv 24/7. :( All done under the auspices of "Public Health Information" ,couldn't be any profit motive behind it. ? :doh: Man if ya don't have a disease ,they sure make ya feel like you do. :D

it's a big racket
 
watched (listened to)enough times
eventually you'll be brain-washed into it.

what bugs me is when they have to use kids on commercials to sell you stuff.....
like the kid who says to his dad way to early in the morning..
."we gotta get some cholesteral off of you...."
yeah like he just read that off the cereal box...

to me...thats exploitation of kids as selling tools...

and they're already being exploited by teachers and department
of homeland security personell for sex in today's headlines
.......its totally disgusting.....:doh:

They should be advertising.

Eat Right

Lose Weight

Reduce Stress

Then we wouldn't need half of what the $%^&* they are peddling... Ask your doctor about ----------, I don't even know what the !@#$%^& it is for why would I ask my doctor?????????

I love the ads for drugs that don't tell you what they're for. Ask your Doctor, they say. The Docs have enough to do besides saying "You don't need Viagra, Ma'am." Then the motor mouth comes on describing side effects at 150 mph. Side effect #1 ,9 times out of 10 : You poop yourself. Well, that blows the sale.

I saw one for a "sleep aid" and they said one of the side effects is, get this.........drowsiness :rollem:

Raven 04-05-2006 06:56 PM

there's been
 
several documented cases of people pulled over while "sleep driving"
and arrested only to wake up in jail wondering how the hell they got there. thats why they have to list that side effect.

Most of the crap they advertise........
You need a presciption.
How does that work?
You go to your doctor.
Tell him "I saw this ad on TV and this is what I have and this is what I need."
?
Hypochondriac America. Everyone is an expert now?
Not presciptions anymore. Scrips or meds.
?
My old man IS a pharmacist, one of my best friends too.
I take aspirin.

Sometimes two.

Sleep aid?

Red Sox game or golf and a beer or two.
Could not knock me out faster with a hammer.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

If I ever get to the point where I am told I need Viagra I will pay someone to put one in the head and two in the chest.
