US adverts seem to be trying to sell you saturated fat, sugary, processed foods that make you a fat bastard. Then when your lard arse unsurprisingly gets type 2 diabetes, tries to to sell you magic pills to alleviate it... Pills which sound more likely to kill than cure I might add. It's capitalism operating in its truest form. |

I've spent a bunch of time over there the past few months and it's remarkable how much generally fitter the average person is than we are over here. I mean, not us, the paragons of fitness and health that we all are, but the royal "we." |

Behold - the worst ad in history:
As many times as I've seen this one, I still can't figure out the purpose of the girl at 0:11. She looks like she was just pushed in front of the camera, stoned out of her mind, with no idea what's going on. The music is like something you'd hear as part of in-flight entertainment. The black guy looks as though he's having the worst day of his life (hard to blame him). The "twin" girls with their inane dance. And they had to get the most stereotypically goofy-sounding Asian guy they could find. Everything is excruciating.

I hate this ad campaign already I wonder if they could make the same commercial with a Mexican or a Chinese guy? |

Any of the commercials that sell you medication. Shouldn't your doctor be telling you about what medication you need? What patient is going "but doc, I saw these meds on TV I should be taking" and the doctor's going "geesh, tell me more about this..."

Whenever people from other countries visit the US, they are all astonished at how prevalent medication advertisements are here. It's also capitalism at its finest and most disgusting. This hemorrhoid cream will cure your hemorrhoids , but it will also destroy everything you love. Pay us money ( and we expressly disclaim any liability resulting from your ensuing decades-long depression)! |

My favorite line in all these commercials is "do not take protecia if you're allergic to protecia" So, do you're saying if I'm allergic to the meds, I should not take them? Good to know, good to know. Also where a side affect is something that is literally what the drug is supposed to fix: "Side affects for Dictionerection are nausea, sleepiness and erectile disfunction..." |
