Oddly, there are some brands and services I will never use because of their advertising.
The disclaimers in the ads for just about any prescription drug terrify the crap out of me.
Don't take this medication if you have 10 fingers. If you awaken in an abnormally large pool of vomit and blood, you should notify your physician... Don't take Midgetxryl if you are allergic to Midgetxryl. Uh, no shit.
the best is when the commercial tries to grandstand with their product like it isn't at all in anyway harmful. like there's one that has some animated mascot saying "take THAT, moderate to severe psoriasis!" (something to that effect) and then still goes on for at least 3 minutes on the possible side effects that include suicidal thoughts.
i believe "suicidal thoughts" was also a side effect for a bipolar disorder drug ad. i mean...should the drug come with a noose too?
