The AT &T Uverse commercial that starts “look at them kids” makes me want to scream.
“If the line’s busy, keep trying!”
Yeah right. Your call is going to a call center with four hundred reps that probably answers calls for twenty or more companies. The only way you’ll get a busy is if some wayward backhoe dug up the phone lines.
Even before I read the rest of the ad: Any kind of prescription drug advertising, especially if it’s for a rare disease. Really, you don’t think your oncologist or rheumatologist doesn’t know about this?
And anything that shows children destroying things. You just know kids are going to imitate that. :rolleyes:
I didn’t think that kind of thing was even legal.
I’ve seen that. It’s actually a legitimate label, because corn or rice can contain trace amounts of gluten if it’s processed in the same factory as gluten-containing grains like rye or wheat.
And it’s sometimes vegan too.
Again, a processing thing, because most commercial sugar is processed with bone char. Doing so does not make it strictly vegan.
I personally know several people who must avoid gluten, and my BFF has gone gluten-free because he’s allergic to wheat and this is the simplest way to go about it. Last year, Temple Grandin, the livestock expert who is also autistic, spoke in my town and I went to see her. She addressed the whole gluten-free thing, which does help some people with autism, and said that it does not have to be difficult or expensive: “Dirt cheap rice noodles, delicious corn tortillas - don’t mess with that fake bread made out of potatoes.”
Jay Leno recently said, “I tried gluten-free bread. Wow! I had no idea how good gluten is. I keep a bowl on the side for dipping now.” 
I used to attend a church that offered gluten-free communion bread, and a lot of people wondered what that was all about. I did try it, and it wasn’t bad. And I also explained it to a lot of people who knew I was a health care professional.
Like I said, prescription drug commercials, especially the ones for erectile dysfunction. Trust me, the men who use them don’t look like the guys in the ads. Instead, think of Grandpa - or better yet, don’t think of Grandpa.
And Grandma too. You’d be surprised how many women use it for their own sexual dysfunction.
Lots of women can’t tolerate Yaz, mainly because it gives them morning sickness without also being pregnant. :eek:
