TV Commericals

Did you know I remember the 2002 schlock commercials that ran on Fox during the Yankees-Angels series?

1. The Lily Pharmaceuticals "Bipolar" ad -- The entire presentation and premise was immoral,
unethical, and just plain wrong. What, let's take a survey online to see if we have a chemical
imbalance in the brain? That is the most ridiculous way to diagnose (let alone advertise) a powerful prescription drug like Paxil.

And that was the most stereotypical Bipolar female I have ever seen in my life. Talk about inappropriate.
2. The "John Doe" Fox ad -- "Do you know what it's like to look in the mirror and not know
who you are?" I've got a better question, John Doe -- why on earth should I care about your
problems? Okay, the guy can tell me how many dimples are on a golf ball -- so freakin' what? I can look up that info on Google. Maybe that would be a great TV show -- "Who is ... Google?"

"Do you know what it's like to have people search stuff on you, and know everything, and not
know who you are? And not have A.I.?"

Man, I love remembering the shows that don't make it on Fox ... you know, the ones that they hype up for months and then pull off the air after five episodes.
