Reply #39: Pretty much any of the new Prescription Drug commercials [View All]

I mean it just seems insane in the first place that there should be direct advertising to lay people on products they have to go to professionals to. Information should be readily available to everyone but marketing?!? I don't think that's a good idea at all.

And the commercials themselves are just...odd...

There's one that after a brief overview the announcer says something like "Let's dig deeper" Deeper!? In a 30 second marketing piece? :eyes:

And half of them I don't even know what the drug is intended to treat by the end of the commercial.

And the listing of side affects is the only redeeming feature, not for the information (I don't think you can rely on any information from a commercial) but for the entertainment factor.
