Inappropriate adverts on the telly…

It’s a mystery to me that some people manage to keep their jobs, let alone their dinner down, when at 7:00 the family is all gathered around the television watching Jeopardy or the like, and you are bombarded with the fourth ad for a vaginal itch treatment. Or they zoom in on the puss filledĀ cold sore that will be ‘virtually’ invisible after a zillion treatments with this nasal spray. Rewind a little, I’d like to return to “that itch you can’t scratch,” first of all- why can’t I scratch it? Secondly, how do YOU know? Most importantly- why are you telling me this at dinner time, I apparently trusted you with very private information and you betray that trust by telling millions of families- how could you?!

I’ve just been severely embarrassed by my lack of Jeopardy skills, and then I watched extremely attractive people tell me that I can cure my allergies with only a few ‘side-effects’ (another blog for another day) and then you have the nerve to tell me I can’t scratch my itch.

So M(iss)r(s). Advertiser, leave your lectures for after prime time… I need the pick me up of some supporting actress’ drama to build up my ego first. Or, at the very least, could you only run it once.

Peace :)

  • I agree with you decisions, so many inappropriate adverts on tv about personal matters, you are just so unlucky that that one was spread far and wide by national tv.
    Keep up your randomness, waiting for your next post

    Well… I’m almost speechless… I had no idea you had this kind of problem Doris.

    I agree of course, there should be an “unsavoury advertisement free” time slot that these TV types give us. I will need about 20 Minutes in the evening to eat my dins. And maybe during Good Morning America should be safe – after all it’s the start of the day.

    Let’s keep the nasty stuff for much, much later…
    I have usually toddled off to my bed by midnight. Those poor folks with their unscratchable problems will no doubt be kept up with that (or the side-effects of all these treatments) Advertise to them after midnight if you have to.
