CANCER, DIABETES, and HEART DISEASE.
Who the hell wants to see those depressing commercials while they are in the process of watch one fo their shows? What happened to commercials about cookies, veggies, plastic ware, and detergent?
Just sickening to see these commercials over and over again. We didn’t see this 15 years ago
If they didn’t advertise, how would they convince anyone to buy cancer, diabetes, or heart disease?
They’re of interest to the persons suffering those illnesses. They bring awareness of potential new treatments they can discuss with their doctors.
Because these are what the increasingly geriatric population suffers from the most nowadays. These and erectile dysfunction.
Frankly, I’ll take them over feminine hygiene products any day.
It seems like every third radio commercial is for one of half a dozen or more “men’s clinics” who have the answer to our inability to perform.
You poor, poor thing. Have you started a fundraiser yet? I would dearly love to contribute to ease your pain and suffering.
What I don’t get is all these ads for medications that could kill you with their side effects. I think I’d rather take my chances with the diseases than the drugs.
As for erectile dysfunction: Why the hell would I want a doctor to cure me if my erections last for more than four hours at a time?!? 
Because the worst case scenario is the tissues die, your penis becomes gangrenous, and you need to have it amputated.
I would pay to see him dump a bucket of ice water on his head.
Eeeuw! That’s disgusting! 
That’s an oddly strong reaction to seeing some T.V. commercials. Could I suggest visiting a doctor?
Just to be clear: You knew I was joking, right? :dubious:
Or those fucking bears with shit stuck to their fur.
Every night during dinner they show the same diarrhea commercial.
Any commercial with grating rock music blaring in the background, or some studio songstress wailing shit like “My head’s about to pop!” or “You’ll make a friend for a long while!” I swear to God, I’d almost rather listen to Celine Dion screeching “Near, far, wherever you are!” :smack:
Also, any commercial where some dweeb/dimwit/douchebag is blogging about his hot weekend (“A pants-off dance-off!”), all the funny shit that happened during her day (“I got dressed, fed the dog!”), or any other crap that interests me not in the least! :mad:
No jury would convict me!
‘You Americans! Always in such a hurry! Wait a week. It will fall off by itself!’
(Punchline from a joke about ‘Korean Grung’.)
Personally, I’m tired of the commercials for Christian Mingle dot com.
Eh, that one’s not nearly as irritating as the eharmony onewhere the pretty woman is speed-dating and she’s SHOCKED by the very scary man she meets at the end with the painted face!
Um, what?? I’m not familiar with any of those commercials. What sorts of products are they advertising?
Or the one where old farts fall in love “pretty darned quick” with women their own age.
Speaking as something of an old fart myself, I find that one* really, really* hard to believe!
