They're all lies.

Commercials are simply lies told to get you to spend money on products you do not need.

I've drilled this one into my kids' head and it's working - they are becoming less responsive to advertising and learning to question anyone who is trying to sell them anything.

When my eldest busted me for acting in commercials and asking "why?" I promptly called my commercial agent and quit.

In that case... believe it. Dan the Man never lied. Not with the "In a world" line.

I love the drug commercials where the voice over lists a parade of horrors in a calm, soothing tone.

"...may cause impotence, constipation, paralysis and in rare cases death."

what kills me is the one for asthma, that sometimes causes a massive fatal asthma attack...


I also love the antidepressant commercial where everyone says in a placid, moderately pleased voice that it has a "low risk of sexual side effects"

The one that gets under my skin the most is the one that is supposed to be a doctor and some interns walking around, and they just so happen to be having a conversation about the benefits and side effects of the drug...


and of course, these all work so well, i can remember the anno0ying commercial, but not the actual product. How;s that for a nice little "fuck you"... :D

Oh, I have one for you! Just today I saw a commercial for a drug. While it was, as was said earlier, listing a parade of horrors, this one was for the "temporary relief of" ...get this... "frown lines", which they talked about as if it was some kind of disease.

Christy Brinkley was hawking it and it was being described as "pure" as if it was safer or something. Despite the fact that it could cause death.

I don't remember the name, but I think it might be a new kind of Botox as I noticed a word something like "botulitum" and Botox is made of chicken botulism, from what I've heard.
