Oh and while I'm on a rant. Isn't it about time the networks revamped the whole idea of 30 second or 1 minute commercials. It has gotten to where the commercial breaks are so long you forget the show you are watching. How about just splashing a logo or ad in the corner of the screen and keeping the content rolling. Or at least offer air time in smaller chunks and limit the non-content air time to say 5 minutes total per half hour. Like the idea of blip verts in the movie Max Headroom.

It's not like Beer, Cars, Insurance, Douche, Phones, or whomever is selling whatever has anything that new to say that watching the same 30 second commercial over and over and over during the same half hour is going to actually sway my purchasing.

And Stop Advertising Prescription Drugs! just makes them cost more to pay for the advertising. Instead use the money spent on advertising to better educate doctors on the application, availability, effectiveness and cost of new drugs. The first MSRA drug that was prescribed for my foot was $2000 for 10 days and a 30 day cycle was recommended. That was my out of pocket after both a pharmacuticl discount and my insurance. The doctor was able to find a targeted drug that worked for only $15 copay for the entire cycle. It worked fine, but there was a 1 week the infection went untreated because I couldn't afford the first drug and the doctor had no idea how much it cost.
