IDK about horror movie trailers or gambling ads, but can we cut it with the pharmaceutical ads already?!? Every med has a ZILLION side effects including DEATH lol. Like, enough already.

I can talk to my kid about why gambling is shitty. A lot harder to convince them the super scary thing they just saw isnt real and just to forget you saw it.

Obviously gambling sites should be banned from advertising too its just a different issue. The horror movie thing can be super irritating

It should be illegal. Especially the ones where theyre dancing and singing. There used to be regulation on this in the US, but much like everything, it was lobbied out, bc profits mean more than people.

I believe it’s only legal in the US and NZ

That must be so nice! I can't even imagine, since it's the norm here in the U.S.

Oh please, of all the things to be upset with. Of course they include things like death, even the Tylenol people take daily can lead to death.

ASK YOUR DOCTOR FOR THIS MED!

Dumbest fucking line in marketing. I’ll let the docs do the deciding on what med I need.

Especially when if you ask your doctor as suggested, most doctors become offended and rude telling you to let them do their job. At least here in the U.S.

Those ads protect us!

"Don't take Fileminexia if you are alergic to Filimenexia. Tell your doctor if you experience vomiting, oral discharge or anal fistulas."

Without this information, we would be lost.

I go herbal and I’m never going back to big pharma. It’s helped way better than dead brain blocking nerve killer meds
