Any sightings of Back To School commercials yet? Yes, it is only July 12, but considering how many schools start around mid-August, presumably for some combination of (a) they can finish by Memorial Day and (b) the fall semester can finish before Christmas, mid-July is usually when they start appearing.
Nashville-Metro is having their Mayoral Primaries right now. I will be quite glad when it’s done.
Liberty Mutual has managed the impressive feat of making their commercials even more obnoxious, though it helps to mentally substitute the line the kid should have said…
“Now, son, what do we always say?”
“I hate you for making me do this fucking commercial and some day I’m going to murder you in your sleep.”
Yes, Target is running then now. Walmart as well.
There are very few commercials that don;t make me want to mute them. Right off the bat all I can think of that I like are the Mayhem commercials for AllState. I particulary like the one where the guy is a bear destroying a car.
“That I’m going to get my ass kicked for running over the flowers?”
I don’t know why, but I hate big international corporations using YouTube/ “found” footage in their commercials. I hope the creators get a nice chunk of change.
New Farmers ad where a brand new car drives off the lot and is smashed by the giant inflatable ad ape.
Sorry J.K. My auto insurance isnt gonna pay a dime for that, that dealership is gonna give me a brand new car.
I can’t get to the mute button fast enough if that song for Jardiance, where the lady with the blue dress is singing and dancing, comes on. So obnoxious!
I couldn’t remember the name of the drug, so I googled “commercial for medicine with song” and it was the first hit! How bad is it that a company makes a commercial with an obnoxious jingle, and I can’t remember what it’s for!
I also found this:
Is Jardiance a high risk medication?
Treatment with Jardiance increases the risk of urinary tract infections, genital fungal infections, and a rare necrotizing infection called necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum (Fournier’s gangrene), which causes pain, tenderness, redness, and swelling in the genital area.
Yeah, just what I need - a rotten taint.
Every time I read those side effects I wonder how this drug targets the genitals - it doesn’t mention oral fungal infections or necrotizing fasciitis of any other body parts and I don’t understand how that works.
It must work the same way Doane’s pills find your back.
But… but Jardiance is really swell.
Publix is killing us with this one right now. I like show tunes, listen to the Broadway channel all the time, but I CAN NOT deal with this song ten times a day. It’s stuck in my head for hours after. “I won’t grow up! I don’t wanna go to school! Just to learn to be a parrot! And recite the silly rule! If growing up means it would be! Beneath my dignity to climb a tree!”
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
No kidding. I’m not a doctor, and I sincerely have never spend a minute contemplating the perineum. I thought it was just…skin. What’s the deal?
I looked it up.
Why does Jardiance cause necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum?
The way Jardiance works is by helping the kidneys eliminate more sugar from your body through urination. This means there is more sugar around your genital area which increases the amount of bacteria, as they feed on this extra sugar.
Bacteria can enter any broken or irritated skin and then infect the tissue beneath the skin, which can quickly spread and destroy tissue. It requires immediate treatment with antibiotics and surgery to remove the dead or dying tissue. Catching the infection early, before it spreads, is very important…
So I suppose you get urine on the outside near your genitals, and it has extra sugar for the bacteria to eat, and if you have any broken skin it causes infection?
Is that what y’all take from this statement?
Yes , that seems to be what they mean.
Four years ago I got necrotizing fasciitis, not of the perineum, but of the groin. I was taking Jardiance. Spent a week in the hospital. It was painful and not fun. My doctor put me on Trajenta. This month I went to fill my Trajenta prescription. Was told I can pay $1000 a month for it or take Jardiance for 5 dollars a month.
I now use Dakin solution to wipe and have the most sparkling, non-bacterial privates than ever before. This has nothing to do with commercials I hate so how about that Max streaming service one where the guy wants to get rid of his mother-in-law. I hate his self-serving, asshole “Oh, there she goes. . .” when MIL gets angry and storms off.
I can dig it!
There’s a commercial for one of those meal-kit services that tries to look like it’s made up of TikTok/YouTube videos, but they are clearly actors. I find that annoying as well.
