CatherineM Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 They are running these Trojan commercials that are really trying my patience. They have apparently come up with a new one that feels like you are wearing nothing at all. I want to scream at the TV that they wouldn't be wearing one anyway. I need to go to bed. I'm getting cranky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcts Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I've gotten to the point that I change the channel when any birth control commercials come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catholic Fox Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I agree. It's getting to the point that I just want to cancel my cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nleyetn Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Then there's that awful commercial for some type of gum or breath mint that makes it look like a condom commercial at first. I find that one especially annoying since there is no point for them to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffpugh Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Yeah. Really. I think the marketing tactic is to make it seem awkward. heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennn Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Television is pure torture to me. Most of the stuff on it comes straight from hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not A Mallard Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 (edited) When I first saw a birth control commercial I was shocked that they were able to advertise for stuff like that on tv! Edited May 28, 2010 by Not A Mallard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherie Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 They make me so angry, I could spit! I hardly watch any TV, and the only things I do watch are HGTV, some TLC/Discovery, etc -- but since I'm pregnant, I've been watching some of the "baby shows" and of course, they target the commercials to people who are most likely to be watching those shows -- so practically every commercial break I'm bombarded with those stupid commercials for YAZ and other birth control ... and it's like, they don't even try to make those women look married (as if married people using artificial birth control weren't bad enough!). In the Yaz commercial, there isn't even a guy in sight! It's like our "casual sex" society epitomized. I DESPISE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgnatiusofLoyola Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I have the same problem with condom commercials that I have with commercials for sanitary products and douches. They seem like TMI. I'm very happy for these people that they are pleased with their selection of personal products, but I wish they didn't feel the need to share it with me.

YMNolan Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I also hate ED and Viagra/Cialis commercials. There always on, no matter what time. If you're someone who "needs" those products, do you really need the advertisement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 At least the ED commercials show married couples. The BC commercials I find funny because the first half they talk about how great their pill is, and the second half they list all the horrible things that can happen to you if you do take it.
