Along with being reminded, by a questionable non-profit, over animal abuse. (I literally need to turn the station. I'm all for squelching any animal abuse, but I want to give to the right organization.)
Along with another highly questionable non-profit begging for "cash for cars". It goes to the children? I heard they have one residential home for troubled kids in the Sierra foothills--that serves 16 kids. All those millions, and one home in the hills.
Along with the Abilify commercial. My dubious hetero-cyclic depression drug is not doing the trick, so add this dubious drug. "Oh, but it works 67% over placebo! But the study was 300 people? Most people got better by placebo. The few that actually benefitted from the drug is a small percent once you take away placebo. (Yea--I know this is how they "study" these drugs, and no I don't have a cost effective way to change research methodology.)
I don't watch t.v., but have it on as company. I live alone, and just need some noise in the backround. I guess to stifle my negative thoughts?
I do know I'm very close to cutting the cord. I think I'll be ok with old movies on DVDs. I couldn't imagine having cancer, heart disease, or diabetes and having to sit through theses commercials--that seem designed to scare people.
I really wish the FDA would outlaw all medical advertisements. I wish some regulated body would require advertising non-profits to disclose administrative costs in advertisements.
