This is still my all time favorite commercial. It reminds me of when I learned to drive a stick!

My daughter was given a 30 page book on side effects of a medication the doctor wanted her to take. She has had a kidney transplant already & one of the side effects was that it could damage your kidneys. She past on taking it.

They say, take this drug for your problem BUT STOP using it if it CAUSES: ( I've counted up to 15 side effects on some!).
I am a real old fashioned and old time Christian and GOOD GOSH, it seems to me that just about EVERY thing we're shown or told leads to Sex and Sexuality! No apologies, they're awful and misleading.

I consider us lucky to have gotten Netflix on our TV. DS is a tech and told me how to do it, so I never have to see another a commercial!!! Do they know how much most people hate them? I just heard some study on the radio (non-commercial) questioning whether advertising really works anyway- look at all the money that gets spent that could be spent on something useful!!!!!! Pushed my buttons, it did...

Doesn't anyone check and double check before they are put on air or is it that they just don't care?
Perhaps, they know no better !!!!!!!!!!

One of the few commercials I liked was the doggie dentures one. Every time I saw that grinning dog with the mouthful of gleaming dentures, I had to laugh.
