I'm So Sick Of These Commercials!!!!

"Eat all you want and still lose weight! We couldn't say it on TV if it wasn't true!" LIARS!!:)

I'm so sick of these commercials. There is supposed to be "truth in advertising" but I don't see it.

Sorry, just happened to be online when I heard this commercial again and lost it.

Any others out there you just hate?

Laura, that one cracks me up too. It's true! My DH decided to stop drinking a 2 liter bottle of soda everyday and lost 10 lbs in a week. I was so mad!

Susan, I could never figure out why a man would call his doctor if he had an erection for more than 4 hours! I agree, he'd be calling all his friends. Heck his wife might even be calling all of her friends!

There's already been a big crackdown on advertising like this. The latest thing I saw was for the product "airborne" (supposed to help cure / prevent the common cold). In some of the ads, the makers of airborne claimed that a double-blind study proved their claims. When the investigators went to check out the address of where the "study" took place, it turned out to be a private residence......just some dude's house! Airborne is getting binged for something like 20 million dollars, and they have to restructure what they say the product can do.

Look for most shady products to go this route. There will be heavy insinuation, but they won't directly say "Product Z will do / cure this".

On a totally unrelated note, Skittles has the best commercials ever. I think their ad guys stay up late smoking pot and getting their ideas.

I like the commercial with the dog carrying breakfast up to the guy, then they show the guy jogging and the dog is home sleeping in the bed with the covers pulled up. LOL

Hi,

I laughed at your post and want to know why four hours? Is three any better? Be well.
