Are those commercials still around, or is that a marker of age now? Last time I had over-the-air TV on, the ads were all Medicare management, prescription medicines, and "Won't someone please save these abused puppies?", as opposed to Chia Bob Ross heads.
- a4isms 5y agoThose commercials have metastasized into ad-chum appearing on every news article we read on the web. Whether it's a mesh that allegedly keeps leaves out of your roof gutters, some electro-stimulation medical quackery device, or this new knee sleeve that is taking seniors by storm, the industry of selling junk to the credulous will never go away.
- robonerd 5y agoA lot of those wacky TV advertised gadgets are being sold predominantly to the elderly, even when the ads use young actors. Some of them are earnestly useful to elderly people with limited strength or mobility. Others are simply just so dumb, you'd have to be senile to buy it.
