I thought about that, too.
I wouldn't worry about it... I was 30 years old and seeing those stupid ads on my favorite channels.
They're kind of a scammy company, too, from the reviews I've read about them. Not as bad as Video Professor, but underhanded nevertheless.

TV is a waste of time. There are better entertainment options out there.
I got rid of my TV's a couple years ago and never once looked back.

I'm trying to figure out how large the population of catheter users is to warrant TV commercials. Why do pharmaceutical companies advertise medicine that you need a prescription for? Especially when there is a long list of side effects and allergy problems. Tell your doctor if you have any ........ (long list). Excuse me? Your doctor should already know about any .....

Big pharma basically scares people into buying their drugs. Your government supports it - and vice versa.

Don't forget the class action lawsuits for anything and everything commercials in between the pharmaceutical company commercials.

If I tell you I died would you quit running your commercial on MY tube?

I dig the commercials that say basically on the order "if you've ever experienced any of the following symptoms, call us today: coughing, sneezing, itchy ball, death"Don't forget the class action lawsuits for anything and everything commercials in between the pharmaceutical company commercials.

I love the mesothelioma ones the best. I was in the Marine Corps (on Navy ships). Grew up in a house with asbestos shingles. And I'm now a construction worker.I dig the commercials that say basically on the order "if you've ever experienced any of the following symptoms, call us today: coughing, sneezing, itchy ball, death"

And let's not forget those riveting Term Life Insurance & Reverse Mortgage commercials!Try being a golf fan without ED.
I knew I wasn't normal when those ads specifically targeting a much older age bracket were all I would see.
Well, and Sharon told me I wasn't normal, too. That was part of my Eureka Moment as I was cursing Billy Mays while he bellowed at me through my TV.

How about the "guilt trip" commercials?
Alysa Milano making it sound like only YOU can save this animal (worst animals they could find in the back ground -- tear-jerk music playing) for a dollar a day.
Followed closely by Foster Brooks making it sound like only YOU can this child (poor, woebegone waif in tears being superimposed over an obvious film of Brooks) for a dollar a day. And I'm thinking, Foster, you don't look like you've missed too many meals. If you went on a diet you could feed 10 kids with what was left over.

Let's not forget William Devane selling gold. According to him he's filthy rich, so why is he selling gold?

I hate to say this because I KNOW what will happen next ... but I don't think I've seen that one.

I do get a kick out of most of the Gieco commercials. As long as they don't over play them. Make me laugh and I might listen to what you have to say, otherwise I just tune you out.
Commercials are for pee breaks and getting something to eat.
