OK maybe this hasn't happened to you but enough of that. I was watching TV and for some reason there was a whole row of medical commercials and one of them was for Plavix and the warnings always seem to me worse then the thing it's treating, right? So the side effect list for this one was said like this,
" Side effects may include vomiting, stroke, or even death. If any of these occur call a doctor."
Call a doctor? Yes I'm going to call my doctor after Plavix kills me. That commercial was probably fixed now, you know after the guys in headquarters saw this blog,
(GUYS IN HEADQUARTERS FOR PLAVIX)
"Joe she's onto us!"
"Uh Oh, Put on the normal commercial."
I think Joe (not an actual person) and his buddy just get a kick of watching peoples reaction when they watch that commercial. *sigh*
Then the next one they throw out in this row of medical commercials is of course Viagra. I'm sure everyone knows this one ,
"If you have an erection lasting longer than four hours call a doctor."
It really makes you wonder what the people who write these commercials think goes on inside our heads. No one is going to walk around with an erection for longer then four hours so you'd think that would be obvious. Insurance reasons I suppose.
So what are your favorite or least favorite commercials? Is it the one where all the roadkill animals come back to life after a man on roadkill lane is finally able to stop his car? Or the one where Volkswagens you can't even tell are Volkswagens go by but apparently everyone in the commercial know.
Leave me a comment and tell me.
