They really grind my gears.
I've watched some TV lately, after, I dunno years of not watching it. It's changed a bit. What's up with like every 5th? commercial being some new wonder drug, that has like 5000 horrible things associated with it? Like, I saw one today, and it helps asthma, except for the part where it could cause your horrible death.
Click link, can't agree more. It's just surreal. It'd be like me selling a candy bar and then in the last 10 seconds, telling you how you might die if you ate it.
Whatever happened to Doan's pills. I liked those commercials. Some dude with a hard hat walks in holding his back, looking like someone just whacked him with a 2X4, looks at the camera and says "Doan's Pills."
"I'd heard the claims before," said longtime backache sufferer Hank Stepke of Grand Rapids, MI. "They said the pills provide fast, effective, temporary relief—even when compared to other leading brands that cost more. But I was skeptical. Those are just words."
Ask your doctor about Snakeoilcedrine™ it can make you feel great...or...warning using Snaakeoilcedrine can cause impotence, kidney failure, baldness, tooth loss, body odor, and DEATH!
Surely if you've something seriously wrong with you then its your doctors decision what meds you need? It seems so weird to me meds (other than over the counter cold remedies and the like) are advertised on tv. I suppose its symptomatic of the american attitude that if you get sick you are a 'consumer' rather than a patient.
If you can't trust your doctor to tell you about new medicine that might help you, then you need a new doctor.
Medication commercials, unless OTC, are stupid, IMO. Seems like everyone I know suddenly has the symptoms of the newest drug commercial they've seen. I'd tell people I had restless leg syndrome years before there was medication for it, and they just looked at me funny. Now everyone has the same problem. Yeah, ok.
Just remember that if your erection lasts for more than four hours to seek medical attention.
I chuckle at the thought of walking into the doctors office with an erection, and what the reaction of the other patients in the waiting room would be.
