Yes, use it judiciously or avoid it entirely.

When life gives you lemons, make Whiskey Sours. So, when the first ad for female incontinence comes on, I know I have time to do things I have been putting off. I can go to the garage and change the oil in my wife's car. Then I can visit the fridge on the way back and get my nightly diet Dr. Pepper. I return to my chair just in time to hear the man tell me that some unpronounceable drug for a rare, unknown disease may give me thoughts of suicide, and if those thoughts happen, I should quit taking the crap. Now, back to our regularly scheduled program.

I like the way you think. On a more serious note, does anyone think that the Pharma companies could be made to obey the ethical considerations about advertising prescription-type drugs at all? Seems to me the ads are meant to craete pressure on doctors to prescribe the drugs their patients have seen hyped on tv and media. Used to be the general public never used to see this kind of content aimed at them. It’s obvious that these ads are extremely well-produced, which means Pharma has deep pockets.

This person is already on the Ad list. It is not a phishing Ad. Get off their list.

This is no doubt true but many bad guys send phishing emails and look to see who unsubscribes from their website and then use this information.

My wife and I vote for the Jardiance commercial, song is annoying enough, but several different actresses with the same voice (Lip sync)

Actually, I'm sicker of that Medicare Advantage commercial with dense Al, his shrew blond wife and the Feldmans, who out the idea into her head!

Man, these folks are spending a huge amount of money on ads! You can hardly watch TV without one of their ads coming up in just about every break and I get at least 20 to 30 e-mail ads a week as well. Now they have even re-branded the product to pull in male customers by calling it "Mando." Personally, I would rather stink than buy this product due to all the annoying ads! Just wondering if anyone else here is sick of hearing about it as well and needed to vent a bit. Good luck and good photography to all.

You can't watch TV without seeing A LOT of the same ads over and over and over again. Medicare ads even though the signup deadline has long expired, the generic Viagra/Cialis ads, etc. etc. etc.

It occurs to me that practicing simple hygiene would eliminate the need for these products.

Same reason I don’t buy Charmin. Remember the ads with Mr. Whipple squeezing the Charmin?

A lot of bad reviews on Amazon. The commercials that annoy me the most, however, are ones for drugs. The moment that I turn on my TV I see a heavy woman singing about Jardiance. How about spending much less on constant TV commercials and using that money to lower the costs of your expensive drugs?

That one doesn't bother me, it is the singing about diabetes and your A1. That and St Judes and the abused pets commercials.
