TV ADS

• Sometimes Vinnie’s Hulu movies have ads.
• This is really the only time he gets to see TV ads.
• Vinnie thinks of cigarette ads in the 20th century.
  • Doctors were smoking.
  • Nowadays, they can’t actually drink in beer ads and everything comes with a warning.
    • But it’s not all good news.
• They would say in these ads that smoking ‘makes the air softer.’
• They’d even show women with black eyes in the ads.
• But now, we see lots of ads for drugs that people do not need.

CHOLESTEROL LIES

• Now ads largely focus on selling drugs.
  • Vinnie plays a Lipitor ad.
• Companies need folks to stay sick to sell more drugs.
• Of course, talk to your doctor.
  • But take these ads with a grain of salt — at best.
  • Vinnie thinks that many of the things these drugs say they will treat may be treated better with diet — but he is not a doctor, so consult with yours.
• Never forget: ads used to tell us that cigarettes were healthy.
  • Ads don’t always speak the truth.
• Vinnie hears misinformation about cholesterol all of the time.
  • Doctors are spewing one thing on a commercial and another on YouTube or in the office.
    • Vinnie would advise that you don’t go to a GP for cholesterol- and heart-related questions.
• These drug companies also make taking the drug look attractive.
• The ads tell you subliminally to get on the drug ASAP.
  • Think of the Jardiance ad.
• Vinnie and Anna look at the numbers and they show that these drugs don’t often work.
