Inspired by the Yasmin post. So the Know-it-all-chick says she asked her doctor about it-blah, blah, blah....Then goes on to say "I DID go to med school, you peon idiots" and THEN she says "My patients ask about it all the time."
HELLO??? Your patients ask about it all the time, you're a doctor, and you had to ask YOUR doctor about it? What a stupid commercial. :sad2:
 
Now that you mention it, that commercial doesn't make much sense. It usually goes in one ear and out the other.
 
She is so obnoxious..I know I'll get flamed for this, but I find alot of Doctors to have sense of superiority. I deal with them everday in my job....I get a kick out the chiropractors especially. Call me Dr attitude.
P.S. I LOVE chiropractic therapy... just some people are so full of themselves!
 
I'm going to get seriously flamed, but chiropractors are just everyday people. ANYONE can be a chiropractor. I even got accepted into chiropractic school with an elementary ed degree. I doesn't matter what you got your undergrad in. I got into Life University which is the LARGEST school of chiropractic medicine which BTW went under review and lost its license a few years back. That doesn't do much for the thousands that graduated there considering the shady history of that school.
 

I hate that commercial too. It sounds as if she is just reading the warning directly from the package! lol
 
Is this the commercial with the 3 gals?

If it's the same one, I don't think it's the know-it-all-doctor isn't the one who says that she asked her doctor about it...it was the blonde friend (Brittany or Cynthia Daniels...not sure which twin it is), wasn't it? Then the know-it-all-doctor takes over the conversation...

I HATE that commerical...seriously, what women sit around and talk like that? I usually mute it whenever it comes on. My DH just snickers every time...lol
 
every time that commercial comes on, I complain about it for the next ten minutes. So here's what I hate about it: it basically makes no sense. The dialogue goes something like this: "Yaz" is the ONLY kind of birth control with the UNIQUE hormone, drosonopine" (or whatever it's called). Now that they're all on a first name basis with their fun new girlfriend, "Yaz", everyone in the ad nods and hmmms and acts like the main character has said something really profound, so profound that they are going to immediately call their doctors and DEMAND that birth control pill with the UNIQUE hormone.

We are supposed to infer that the sole fact that it uses a UNIQUE hormone is a great reason to get "Yaz". But ... we don't know anything about this UNIQUE hormone, what it does, what side effects it has, etc., since the ad assumes women are so frickin stupid that they don't need to be informed about such things.

The sole fact that it is UNIQUE is meaningless. I could just as well say, "crank is the ONLY drug with the UNIQUE ingredient, methamphetimine".

I suppose there may be a few circumstances where people are allergic or intolerant to regular birth control hormones and might want to take "Yaz". But other than these cases, since the Yaz ad has not demonstrated to us that the drug is unique in any kind of positive way, we can only infer that its side effect profile is probably WORSE than regular birth control (if it was BETTER in some way, wouldn't they have gone out of their way to tell us this?) However, we are supposed to be overwhelmed with desire for it because it is "unique", "fun", and "different".
 
Count me in as a big NO on that one too. How stupid! :)
 
Yikes!!! I HATE IT TOO!!!! It makes the HAIR on the back of my neck stand up!!

The obnoxious way this so obvious MODEL tells us that she is a doctor and how the others sit quietly hanging on to her every word... sorry, it gives me the creeps.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one! :lmao:
 
I agree with themarquis AND the utter annoyance of the ad. BUT

It is not as annoying as the woman who accosts other women in the grocery aisle and asks them if their pad ever gets "moist and uncomfortable".

OF COURSE IT DOES, DUMB***.

:lmao: OMG!!!! I haven't seen that one! :lmao:
 
I truly think that I would run the other direction if anyone approached me in the store and asked me that...lol
 
I think we should boycot always. Have a happy period. :furious: My certain body part!!@! :furious:

I HATE that too! Peeling the little thing off and it saying "Have a happy period" on it. :rolleyes: A man thought that one up.
 
While I agree, and I do hate the Yaz commercials, my all-time hated commercial starts with "Mom, do you ever get that not-so-fresh feeling?". :crazy: :crazy:
 
But if we boycott the happy period people AND the people who have the insane woman accost us in the grocery store, we've pretty much eliminated alot of options!

And WHY do they have to advertise this stuff anyway?? I'm a woman, I know what I need, I know where to find it when I need it, and I know which ones work for me. It's not like I'm sitting in front of the TV saying, "OMG!!! They make products for that???? I never knew!!!" :rolleyes:
