Every once in a while I like to attack commercials I see on TV. I don’t think many people really enjoy that kind of writing, but I just can’t resist writing those things.
When I was in Cuba Cuba US works hard at destroying such countries, such as the government in Grenada
An example of a stupid commercial is The Giza sheets, hawked by the MyPillow man Michael Lindell. Talk about bottled smoke? Cotton that is grown in some shit hole in Africa is supposed to be way more comfortable than what people buy here, with cotton grown here. Ol’ Mike is a Donald Trump supporter, so the man lacks any credibility. The guy is a real phony. For example:
“MyPillow on Oct. 31 agreed to pay more than $1 million to settle a lawsuit filed by a group of California district attorneys that alleged that the Chaska, Minnesota-based company made misleading claims about the health benefits of MyPillow in its advertising. MyPillow also faces a federal lawsuit in Oregon filed on Oct. 24 for allegedly offering a bogus buy-one-get-one-free offer. And earlier this year, it settled a suit filed by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman for failing to collect sales tax from consumers in the state. That settlement was for for $1.1 million. In a press release, Lindell said he reached a settlement with 10 California California
There are all kinds of ads for pharmaceutical companies that hawk really expensive products, such a Jardiance. They talk about how important these medicines are and fail to mention how expensive they are. Jardiance cost between about $400 and $500 or more per month.
Without some kind of insurance, how many people can afford that?One of these ads provides us with a woman, 'Audrey Is on It: Marching Band,' who leads a marching band onto a field were football is being played. There nothing realistic about the ad. She is not actually doing anything that a band leader is supposed to do. Also no school would let the bands on the field while football is being played.
According to the site, Single Care:
“The average market cost of Jardiance is $631.99 for 30, 25MG Tablet, but you can use a Jardiance coupon from SingleCare to pay only $433.16.”
For the average consumer that is a lot of money to pay for just one month of medicine. For many people, this price keeps them from getting this medicine all together. Advertising is always about deception, so we can always expect to be deceived by ads.
