It's illegal to show drug advertising on TV in 99% of countries except USA and with good reason as it's sickening to be subjected to such abuse ... big pharma needs to be taken down ... luckily I have not owned a TV this century
- grawprog 7y agoYeah when I had cable or broadcast tv there was always such a stark difference in the ads between American channels and Canadian ones. Every commercial break in most American channels, especially day time tv, would have drug ads for the strangest things and I always remember being horrified at the side effects of most of them. The commercials in general are also always louder. I always felt like they were just yelling at me to buy their shit. Canadian ones tended to be quieter(though they kept getting louder over time too), there were no drug ads, almost no insurance or healthcare ads.
