Waaay tired of them. And I've noticed some liquor ads showing up. When did that change?
I'm glad....ever since I got rid of my feminine itching I've been able to enjoy the beach MUCH more.<br>
And now that hemmhoroids are gone, I can ride a bike like Lance Armstrong!
And let's not forget that now that my ED is gone, I get to chill with my lady friend in an oldschool bathtub in the middle of a wheat field!

Great thread! <img src="http://redlinesonlinemessageboard.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/thumbsup.gif"><br>
I don't know if y'all get 'em outside of SoCal, but we get tons of ads for the "Lap Band" which is a gastric bypass procedure.<br><br>
"Lap Band will change your life, just like it did for me!!" (note that the verb tenses don't agree; incredibly annoying to a spelling 'n grammar geek like me)

Equally irksome are the new names they create for supposed dysfunctions. <br><br>Like Adam said above, ED is now part of the mainstream. I guess we are too infantile to actually say "erectile dysfunction" in a commercial.<br><br>I bring this up because I saw a commercial last evening talking about new syndrome called "Low T". The commercial targets men over 45 who are feeling irritable, tired, lacking energy and sexual desire. It's a real subtle commercial that ends with a small Abbott Laboratory logo at the end, but I was able to figure out that Low T is a new euphemism for low testosterone. Get ready for all you sufferers of Low T, help is on the way!!<br><br>Bob Jordan
120 years ago, a little whisky addressed all of these!
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Pharma commercials are one of my top pet peeves. I despise them. Since we have a DVR, I tend to set it on pause for 15 min or so to collect the minutes. Sometimes I record it. I walk away to do some needed minor chores, come back ready to watch the tv show, I skip all the commercial crap by using the skip button. </p>
The other thing I find so comical are the actors in these dumb commercials who we are supposed to believe are "real people".<br><br>
[in a dramatic tone] "Heart attack at 55..." [loving, concerned-looking son places hand tenderly on shoulder of father] "... that was a tough time..." [father glances caringly at son] "yes, it was..." [back to camera] "....now I eat right, exercise, and I trust my heart to Lipitor..."<br><br>
GAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Where'd I put my Geritol ? ...<br>
I think the dueling bathtubs are funny....For some reason sitting in a bathtub in cold water doesn't seem like good foreplay to me? LOL HJ
If you aren't sick of pharma commercials, it's because you don't watch TV once a week.
<font color="#330099">There's one commercial for something like CRESTOR or Plavix that uses a real person... Guy's name is Dean and he is a toy show vendor that I know personally. He did have a heart attack. He also sells on ebay from time to time. Anyway, that's the only one that I know that the guy is not an actor.<br><br>Commercials.. remember, if it weren't for the commercials there would be no free tv.....<br><br><br>maribell<br><br><br></font>
I think the ED commercials need to include some "soft" porn.......
<p>What about the late night commercials. I know you've seen the Extenze half hour mini series.<img src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_freak.gif" width="20" height="20"><br>Chicks in nascar outfits w/ hot pants & people just happening by on the track who all take it, what a suprise. It's on t.v. it must be real.</p>
