Making us into children...

The pharmaceutical industry must think we are nothing but children. Last night while watching a rerun of Columbo, (for the umpteenth time,) I saw back to back commercials for over the counter medicine. One was for Alka Seltzer, and the other for some fiber crap. Both of these products now come in gummie bear type form.

I'm sorry but gummie shit is for kids not adults. I don't want candy when I have an upset stomach, I want relief, damnit!

I know there are other adult products out there that are doing the same shit. Has this country dumbed down the majority of the people so low that we are now to be treated as children?

Most TV commercials are for morons and idiots. They make the man of the house look like a moron, make claims that are untrue and are just generally full of shit.

When I do watch TV I try to DVR it and zap the commercials.

I know one thing, those Alka-Seltzer fruit chews certainly do not work as well as the effervescent tabs that dissolve in water.
They taste horrible too.

If enough people don't buy a product it goes away. What gets me is the prescription med ads. It takes about as long to spout off all the CYA's as it does to promote it!!
