Pharmaceutical company ads are some of the worse. Animated drawings of anthropomorphic pills that show they are "friends" with one another?

They advertise drug down to the 60 I.Q. level. Granted, I don't think doctors always make the best choice on what drugs to give their patients, but creating demand with consumers isn't helping.

I spoke to someone in advertising several years ago, and he said the average television commercial was made at the IQ level of 70-75 (which used to in a range called "retarded" or "borderline" before those phrase became verboten).

Today, we have the 5 second ad on YouTube - and it is LOUD and IN YOUR FACE!
