Thread: Why is this commercial on 100 times a day?

This one about the catheters:

YouTube - Stop reusing catheters!

How many of these things could they possibly be selling with this advertising? Do that many people have to do this? And are they all watching CNBC?

I know what you mean, it can't be that large a market, and one would expect that there would be better ways of targeting their advertising.

The commercials that drive me crazy are the ones for the "Girls Gone Wild" and similar videos that play endlessly on programs that I'd otherwise recommend for kids. (Good science fiction shows for instance.) If I were the program producer, I'd have a fit.

And who hasn't just bitten into a juicy hot dog as yet another "male enhancement" commercial begins?

I think the solution to "Girls Gone Wild" commercials is to demand equal time for "Grammas Gone Wild".

I kind of like the male enhancement commercials, they're kinda cute, especially the one where "Bob" has the little cocktail sausages.

Fortunately, I haven't been sipping on lemonade when "Holly" starts complaining about reusing her catheters.

I like the one for the company that will buy your "scrap gold." And old lady appears near the end waving a check, "THEY GAVE ME $600 FOR MY SCRAP GOLD!"

What is "scrap gold"?

Imagine if you had to spend $50 every time you had to pee.

Now there's a cure for incontinence.

That is a very good question.

A catheter is nothing more than a tube, there's no eeww about it. Catheters can provide the physical attention a neurovascular aneurysm or a AAA needs. A catheter has made heart bypass surgery nearly obsolete, turning it instead into an outpatient procedure. Now, what would you rather have, your chest cracked open and your heart replumbed or a 1 hour procedure that would leave you feeling instantly 20 years younger? Say your aorta suddenly had a weakend wall, would you rather die from massive internal blood loss or would you rather live the rest of your life completely normal.

New catheters are in the works that will repair heart defects, correct faulty heart valves due to disease, and even maintain your bile ducts keeping your internal organs from shutting down.
