At the risk of dating myself, I remember when the law was changed / passed to allow pharma ads.
IIRC there was a Foxworthy bit when he and his wife were watching some drug ad, and his wife said “I have that, I have testicular cancer”!
Jeff said “You don’t even have testiculars”! 🙂

Too funny!! Sadly most sheeple won’t get the two-sided joke.

I have read that the US is one of two countries in the world that allows the advertising of pharmaceuticals, but I don’t personally know that to be true. In any event, while the FCC might be able to ban advertising on the air waves, I’m not sure that it can be prevented on cable due to First Amendment issues. I will let others figure that out.
It seems like every third commercial on Fox News is one for some sort of pharmaceutical. )I have no idea what CNN and MSNBC are like) All I can say, however, is that I can’t wait to get diabetes. After all, unlike drugs for mood enhancers, the diabetes drug commercials always have chunky men and women singing, dancing, and having the time of their lives. Who could refuse that?
