TV ads

AND 2/3 of the drug adds content is to warn you of the side effects.

ME TV might be the only channel I want my kids to watch. I have 6 year and 9 year Olds. They always want to watch nickelodeon and cartoon network. What crap channels. These are the channels that are stupifying our people.

I agree with the recording of shows to watch later. Only way I do it.

Yup, but I do still watch Fox News so I know what's happening . . . even though it seems there's something else to be PO'd about every day or two. And occasionally they'll have a good show on archaeological stuff or other history. But I'm sure's heck not going to waste my time watching the new reality show, "Grocery Shopping Naked".

Now don't you wish they'd come out with a video recorder that would automatically mute for commercials, or better, do the fast forward for you. Looking at my remote, the mute and fast forward buttons are showing serious signs of wear.

There is a reason only 2 countries, the USA and New Zealand, allow direct marketing of prescription drugs to consumers. It's not a good thing.

WHO | Direct-to-consumer advertising under fire

I'm so sick of commercials I've started reading books and really cut back on TV.

Football season is just around the corner though....

I have to agree thats what I am seeing.

Has anyone else noticed that 1/3 of TV ads are for drugs, 1/3 are for lawyers suing drug and medical device manufacturers, 1/3 are for the "next new thing you just have to have and 1/3 are so dumb that you either don't understand what they are selling or wouldn't buy it anyway. Yeah, that's 4/3 but who's counting!

That's why we still have a 27" TV that is 15 years old. Our only TV.

No, I have not noticed. We don't watch traditional TV anymore. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Got the TV cord a couple years ago and never went back. We should have done it a decade ago.

There is a radio out from a lawyer I hear all of the time. Yes, Bird I do remember when Lawyers could not advertise. It was not THAT long ago! :laughing::laughing::laughing:

This lawyer is a bankruptcy attorney. He has an ad for people who are to broke to pay for a bankruptcy. Yes, you heard it right. He will loan his services to people too broke to pay for a bankruptcy. I guess he gets paid first...

Later,

The lawyers always get paid first, B4 govt and B4 creditors.
U need cash to declare bankruptcy.

I don't know... it sure is helpful to know to look out for those pesky, four hour erections... When the time is right...
