Is this really necessary ?

Just settled down to eat my lunch, switched on the TV and the first thing I see is a woman crying, in a daytime drama, snot running out of her nose mingling with tears and dripping off her chin, switched channels immediately to be confronted with another woman, singing the merits of the absorbency of incontinence pads

I didn’t bother switching again, chances are I’d find yet another woman asking if I was constipated and giving details about how get going again ! Think I’ll see what’s on the radio .......
 

How about those "When the time is right" commercials for medication for erectile dysfunction? The couple smiles, holds hands, then goes inside.
 

Those type of commercials disgust me. The medication commercials are another story. Notice how they run through the side affects at warp speed? Then you are suppose to ask your doctor if they are right for you,as they put it in the commercial.. I doubt my doctor would appreciate me asking. I have also wondered if any of these commercials actually increase sales. Some are so boring I can't remember the product they are pitching or the couple I find amusing like the little Gecko lizard I find so entertaining I forget what they are for also. Most of the time the hubby records everything we watch so we don't have to sit through them.
 
I don’t really want to be seeing or hearing about body fluids at any time, especially mealtimes...:sick:
 
...or "who doesn't leak a little when they laugh"


There's only a small numbers of things that I 'hate'...at the top of the list is commercials!

Here's a "leak a little" spot for guys:

LOL! What I don't get is why, after the deed is done, do the sponsors believe it is de rigueur to sit holding hands, in side by side bath tubs, on the beach!!! Is there somebody who brings giant buckets of water to fill these things after each and every time you have a amorous round, or two? Is there a giant run of pipes to these two tubs so they can be filled and emptied per local plumbing code?

Do inquiring minds really want to know.?

Movies, television, are ruined for me because I vision the camera in the picture. They are not alone. L.O.L.

I agree with you Ruth,I hate those commercials the most.
 
Remember when everyone was told that if they paid for TV there would be no need for commercials? Ha! I love that story.

I watched a movie on TV last night - the Long Kiss Goodnight - and a commercial ran every 6 to 12 minutes. All but a few were those class-action lawsuit ones: If you've experienced hair loss, kidney failure, dialysis, etc, due to use of [enter Rx drug or hair product here]..."

There were so many different ones! At least six or seven, including a hair dye (seriously), artificial joints, and various drugs. I felt so insecure. :playful:
 
The good news is TV hasn't progressed to the point of live demo's of catheter or tampon insertion. Have to be thankful for the little things in life.

If it wasn't for the T V in the kitchen hooked to an antenna to get local news once in awhile. TV programming streamed thru KODI & Netflix without commercials I don't think I'd know about why I should buy two old fashioned bathtubs to sit in while at the beach.
