While the programing content remains
excellent, many of their commercials have got to go! These days when 'break
time' happens, I often do one of the three:
- hit the mute button
- change channels
- turn the TV off
Why? Mostly it's the nature of the
pharmaceutical commercials I find the most noxious. They often use
scare tactics to get the public to ask their doctor to give them a
certain brand of medication. Medications that often seem to fall into one or
more of these categories:
- they are way too expensive
- they cause side effects that are more dangerous than the condition they are deigned to help
- they can kill
- they circumvent your doctor's ability to provide professional care
I firmly believe that, at some point in
the future, these companies will be disclosed for what they are; a
new form of cancer and consummate evil that exists solely for the
almighty buck.
