Some may not realize but we are watching a Viewing Tsunami
coming at us.
TV Commercials. The less active we become, the more TV we watch…
me anyway.
On most cable TV programs we get an average of 8 to 12 minutes
of the program then 4 to 6 minutes of commercials or more.
A large part of the wave coming at us is pharmaceutical (medicine)
ads, You have to get your doctor to prescribe it… his/her cut off top
before the price of the meds. (If he/she is on their kick back scam helps).
Then if you listen to the end of the pitch, the possible side effects (one
mentions possible death) sound possibly worse than the symptom you
may be at least living with. I play Poker but I don’t play Craps… to
me that’s a roll of the dice.
Oh yea, after 4 hours you may need to seek
immediate medical attention. That’s a hard situation to be in.
Then the insurance ads. Myself, I don’t want to put my insurance money
with an insurance company that washes over us with the stupidest,
senseless, ridiculous and repetitious ads over and over. And… with the
millions and millions of dollars they spend on those expensive TV ads,
I’d bet getting a claim paid would be like pulling a pitbull’s tooth.
And… the OTC supplement ads. One of those men’s supplements even
mentions you may need to seek medical attention after 4 hours. Geeze.
If you have a torn or deteriorated cartilage in your knee, shoulder or elbow
a rub on crème supposedly is going to make it down through the epidermis,
then the dermis and then the hypodermis relieving the pain at the cartilage.
Really? Oh yea, the Epidermis… “The Epidermis, the outermost layer of skin,
provides a waterproof barrier.” Hmmm…
The disclaimer at the bottom in fine print… “If the pain persists seek
medical attention”. Well, at least you bought their pitch $$ you end up
going to the Ortho doc anyway. More $$$ and prescriptions. $$.
The memory ads. Placebos… the power of the brain over itself.
That’s just three.
And the piercing audio over modulation... a guitar chord first, a kid crying,
a song or a car crash.
Finally. how did all the different programs on cable TV all agreed to go
to commercial break at the same time? You can wear out a remote trying
to beat ‘em.
I couldn’t cover it all… this came off Word as I had time.
Maybe some others can add more “irks” to the subject.
