Why So Many Prescription Drug Commercials?

 

Lately it seems there are so many prescription drug commercials for depression and anxiety. Maybe the weather has me watching more tv and I now see them more but I hate it to so much. The tone of the anti depressant commercials seem to make my son instantly stop anything he is doing and stare at the tv. We now change the channel if it comes on because it bothers me so much to see him stare at it. He can be playing not even noticing the tv and as soon as the horrible tune of the song starts he whips his head around to see. I just don't get it. I wonder what kinda of research went into the type of music that is played in the background of these commercials. I wonder if its some strange subliminal message. I don't mean to seem weird about it I just do not like the tv constantly advertising medicine to me. I know I can just turn off the tv but I know that won't happen in our house lol. Thankfully we have a lot of DVDs so I think we will start watching those more often than tv.

What is your opinion on these commercials? Do you think they will ever stop like how they had to stop with the tobacco commercials?

Social Kiddo Card Kit Review and Giveaway

Kiddo Tags makes name labels and stickers as well as Mommy cards. Mommy cards are a cute idea and a fun way to let other Mom's know who you are in a memorable and stylish way. They have several different styles to choose from and I picked the Blue Polka Dot. The Social Kiddo Kit includes personalized Mommy Cards, Stickers, Kiddo Note pad for notes and 1 mini sharpie.




I put my name, my 2 boys names, our phone number and my email address. I love that you can give out your basic information is such a fun way. I took my cards with me to a Superbowl party where I knew that I was going to meet new Mom's and thought it was a good opportunity to see how people responded to them. My girlfriends thought that they were a great idea and wanted to know where they could get their own. I also dropped a card in one of those little buckets that restaurants have where you can win a free lunch, you know where you put your business card in and they draw your name?



It has all the info they need and being a Mom to these boys is my business/job! They come with a nice leather looking pouch with a little marker for any notes that you may need to take or write down. Mommy cards are not something that I thought I needed, but now that I have them I am wondering how I lived without them.
