Lately, I’ve been seeing commercials for something called the Wellness Company (example) that sells a kit containing several prescription medications (including amoxicillin-clavulanate, azithromycin, doxycycline and, interestingly, ivermectin). It annoys me that they can sell this stuff without the customer needing a doctor to prescribe any of these specifically.
In theory they do- the sucker, err I mean the customer fills out an online consultation, a “real” Doctor reads it and does a prescription. Shady yes, but legal for now.
The idea is (and I am not judging here) that this kit would be handy in case of an emergency, or something worse. Mind you the shelf life of those drugs isnt long.
As a NASCAR fan (especially for this weekend’s Atlanta race which is about to restart at midnight), we have been subjected to innumerable airings of what I consider to be the Kars4Kids of cellular service.
That is the Zoe Saldana T-Mobile ad in which she obnoxiously bemoans the lack of loud (audible and visual) production in the commercial, penultimately adding, “I should dance…” followed by what can best be described as an impersonation of Elaine Benes with a Red Bull drip.
She ultimately has a stunt double perform a back flip from a living room ottoman, adding “nailed it.”
I’m fairly happy with Verizon, but I know that if I ever have to migrate to another provider, it will NOT be T-Mobile because of this junior college film class homage to “The Room.”
The so-called “Department of War” has been running this commercial with some words from Trump and a brief on-screen appearance from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. And the tagline is “Peace through Strength.”
I’ve been seeing an ad for Martin guitars, specifically the D-28. For those who are not up on guitars, the D-28 is one of the iconic models of acoustic guitars.
The jarring thing is that the music playing over the ad is an electric guitar.
