Medical advertising has become so popular today. It seems that all you are seeing on television today are ads for medicine or for automobiles. In fact the advertising for automobiles seems to be more enjoyable because they at least show nice scenery. The medical advertising I suspect is designed to show you the benefits of that medicine. I just wonder what they are trying to prove because the contents of the advertisements do not seem to have that result for me. Some of the disclaimers that I have heard definitely do not make me want to take that medication.
Here are just a few of the comments that I have heard and my reaction.
1. Sexually active people in separate bath tubs.
a. Is this a throwback to the era when couples on TV could not be shown in the same bed, even when they were married
b. How do they get the bathtubs in the package.
2. Four hours is a limit on an erection.
a. Who determined that four hours was the limit.
b. Was this determined to give comedians a better chance at a clean joke.
c. How many people consider it a goal to make them more employable in the porn industry.
3. Stop smoking can cause weird dreams.
a. Should you be telling people that the drug causes hallucinations?
b. What if you actually want to have weird dreams
c. What actually is a weird dream?
Not only medical advertising is annoying there are other types that can make you wonder what
they were thinking about when they are selling you the products.
1. It is now more proper to advertise toilet paper
a. Do we really want to see bare blue bear butts on TV?
b. Who is buying the bears the TP or is it a government stipend.
c. What bread of bear can speak English and walk erect?
2. Who makes TP that comes packaged without the cardboard core.
a. Is it made for the three bears?
b. If it is so hard that it is like sand paper what would it do to your rear?
c. If it is so soft how would you be able to use it correctly.
3. When did they remove the restrictions on competing products in the same advertising block?
a. How many ads for different brands of automobiles can be placed in one block.
b. Is it possible to have a whole day with only advertising for new cars?
c. Can they actually do an ad for every car company and not duplicate the company or the model of car.
All of these things are just a few of the limitless things that I could write about. In the future I may come up with more examples of the things that we are watching so that someone else can pay for our television programing. That is besides paying someone to bring you the program via cable or satellite. Do they actually think that we don’t know that some sorts of news stories can only happen during the same period when they are counting viewers for local television stations.
