Why do I keep seeing that stupid commercial about prostrate problems?
Question:
Answers:
It may be annoying, but showing the commercials does help elderly people to remember names of the drug. Unfortunately lots of men need have prostate issues. Commercials for females shows too, just for the same reason. I usually like to put the tv on mute when a commercial I dislike comes up.
I think that women's health issues are focused upon 1000 times more, and here you are complaining.
BTW, where is the "men's studies" on Yahoo?
We have an aging population, and aging men tend to develop prostate problems. You are probably watching a channel or programs that have appeal to these men (or the women that nag at them to go to the doctor).
If the advertisers are aiming for the aging poplulation, that would include women who have reached menopause or peri-menopause. No need for feminine hygiene products with these gals. Maybe you'll be "lucky" and get some hormone replacement and bladder leakage commercials. LOL
Money drives all this. So, no, you can't do anything to get these off the air. TV programming is paid for by those distasteful commercial breaks.
TiVo and ReplayTV are recording devices that allow users to skip commercials. I didn't pay much attention to what I heard though because I don't watch TV. There was some legal question as to whether commercials can legally be removed. A similar stir was caused when CleanFilms and others edited movies of profanity, sex, and violence to make them decent to watch. I loved CleanFilms, but they no longer exist -- due to legal problems with Hollywood.
Your other option, of course, is to turn off the TV.
