I watch a lot of TV, mainly
PBS, and see a lot of ads. (Yes, even PBS/KET have succumbed to running ads
these days! Drat.)
I don’t know which is
worse..the medicine ads or the lawyer ads. I guess perhaps the lawyer ads about
medicine.
If I never hear
corticosteroid again it will be too soon..or “messy-feel-lee-oh-ma(ha!), if I
could spell it.
And why there so many drugs
with made up names starting with X, but pronounced as Z. Something wrong with
Z? Are Zeus and Zorro out of favor?
(There’ll
always be an ad man, and a lawyer…but must we hear those voices telling
us."Don't take X if you are allergic to it!” I mean, give me a break.)
Those
lawyer ads are going down hill. The Hammer used to have whimsical, funny ads…no
more. The best of what’s left are the Morgan Family ads..even if they "Ulti-muttly” go to the dogs.
But
the ads that defy all logic are on the Fox 10pm news..A commercial says.."This
portion of the 10pm news is brought to you by Sam’s tattoo and vampire
shop.” Two minutes later comes another ad…”This portion of the 10pm news
is brought to you by Dewey, Cheatam, and Howe.” Which means what Sam has
brought you is a couple of commercials, NOT the news. Why Sam, why?
And
so it goes…"ad” nauseum,."
I'm just sayin'
