If you've watched any post season baseball or NFL Football you've probably seen several ads repeated over and over and over until you just want to hurl.
The commercial for Viagra with the bimbo spouting off at the mouth about erectile dysfunction must have been written by a moron. Seriously, does the ad agency and the pharmaceutical company that makes Viagra think this broad in the Cowboys jersey knows anything about football or ED? And she just isn't that hot. If this is selling product for big Pharma then the American Public must be even dumber than I give it credit. But, then Will Rogers once said you will never go broke under estimating the intelligence of the American Public.
Another obnoxious TV add is for "Fan Duel". Based on the number of times this ad has popped up in Post-Season and on the NFL there must be a ton of money in the "Fantasy Sports" business. (And it's not fantasy sports, it's legalized gambling). But, it gets repeated over and over just like the Viagra spot. Enough is enough. I find it interesting these ads are being shown in prime time and on Sunday afternoons when young kids are watching. Can you imagine some kid asking his old man "Daddy what is erectile dysfunction"? (I sure am glad I don't have small children while this crap runs on my TV).
Maybe I'm wrong but I have to think the people watching sports on TV aren't all gambling addicts who can't get an erection. What is this country coming to?
