Stuff on Television that Disturbs You
 

The "You Have Full Blown AIDS" song from The Family Guy. Saw it last night and was pretty disturbed by it.

Some of the shows on Adult Swim make me a lil' nervous.

Those talking baby commercials from Quiznos really creep me out.

Sex and the City reruns. Ew.

I wish there was a filter I could put on my TV so I could just look at Chris Noth and not hear SJP's annoying narration. It drives me nuts.

YES!!! His voice sounds like it belongs to a 35 yr. old pedophile, it's horrible!

The sad thing is that it's actually a little girl actress. Imagine watching those ads 10 years later...

If you come up w/ such a filter, I'll buy one, too.

What I hate (vaguely off topic): Kim Catrell-hi, I played a nympho on TV, therefore I am qualified to write books on the subject. Oh, and be on stupid low-carb booze commercials.

The series Revelations really disturbed me. When it first came on, I set my Tivo Season Pass, but deleted it after they showed the Satanic group cutting up the litle comatose girl to take her heart back to their leader.:(

I just saved a whole lot on my insurance by switching to GEICO!

all of the herpes medication, penile enhancement, vaginal creme, and tampon commercials. egheh!

This might sound stupid but the bald guy on the Six Flags commercials really creeps me out! I can't stand to see him!

me too

There's a local commercial in Tallahassee where it shows a father getting ready to drive to work and it says that he's insured his house, his car, his children everything and then he dies in a car crash and says he forgot to insure himself. It's a commercial for a church and it really disturbs me.

the "talking baby inside the womb" commercial is super funny, but kinda creepy too.......

That guy is actually a woman.

Also, I agree with Senusret I. The AIDS song from Family Guy was not funny and I left the room when it came on.

Also, commercials for prescription meds. Those commercials are illegal in Canada, so I only see them on US stations, but I don't think it's right that they are advertising for prescription meds. If a doctor thinks you need it, he or she will prescribe it to you, but why do you need to advertise it to the public?

I have to agree on the ads for prescription drugs, "natural male enhancement", and feminine hygiene products.

I've also found some of the more recent episodes of South Park pretty disturbing... then again, I guess that's the whole point. :p

Yeah, you can have herpes and a normal life. Uh, huh.

I hate all of these ads, especially when you're watching in mixed company. The only funny one was Bob Dole making the Viagra ads and then grinning lasciviously at Britney Spears!

The commercials make herpes look like a lot of fun. I want to frolick on the beach and go horseback riding!

Anything involving eating on Fear Factor. I'd have been fine not knowing what cow brains in a blender looked like.

Just between us, I could've gone the rest of my life without knowing that Bobby Brown once "dug a dootie bubble" out of Whitney Houston's ass.

Oh, did I mention Sponge Bob square Pants?

That character freaks me out! There is just something creepy and odd about Sponge Bob.

I thought that we just couldn't mention what a drug does up here? I'm pretty sure the Viagra commercials with the guys prancing to work ("Good Morning" from Singing in the Rain) or singing in the shower (Sinatra's "My Way") were Canadian. US depression drug ads (for example) tell viewers what it's for.

Ok I was watching this new show "Brat Camp". It's about trouble teens going on this grueling trip. Well, one of the girls took a shit on the camping grounds and they showed it on TV. Ewwwww! I was eating dinner too. :(

Yesss! Everyone makes fun of me for my intense dislike of him.


ETA: WHAT?????? That's a woman?????

EATA: Y'all, check this out - it's so funny!

HUUUUUGE amen to that, along with the comments on the dancing Six Flags guy.

And I'm surprised why people haven't mentioned Jared yet. His face doesn't quite fit together right! He may have lost a lot of weight, but that didn't solve all of his appearance problems...

Me too.

Hello to all. Have anyone seen the last few episodes of Rescue Me that comes on FX? I am just shocked at some of the language that is heard...I have heard the words sh*t, t*ts, c*ck, etc. I have heard some of those words last night when I watched 30 days. I guess its just an FX thing.

Hence the "TV MA" rating. And it's on after (well at) 9:00 which I think makes a difference

Yeah -- I'm always like, "Wow, people with herpes live WAY better than I do . . ."

Another bad commercial is the one for Aricept, for the early stages of Alzheimer's. The whole time the spokesperson is talking, the person with Alzheimer's is sitting there smiling. All I can think is, "She's probably wetting her pants right this very minute!"

:o (ok - maybe I laughed a little!! LOL!)

Actually, I think you are right.

But I was just reading the Food and Drug Act and it says in

s.3. (1) No person shall advertise any food, drug, cosmetic or device to the general public as a treatment, preventative or cure for any of the diseases, disorders or abnormal physical states referred to in Schedule A.

and schedule A says:

(Section 3)

Alcoholism, Alopecia (except hereditary androgenetic alopecia), Anxiety state, Appendicitis, Arteriosclerosis, Arthritis, Asthma, Bladder disease, Cancer, Convulsions, Depression, Diabetes, Disease of the prostate, Disorder of menstrual flow, Dysentery, Edematous state, Epilepsy, Gall bladder disease, Gangrene, Glaucoma, Gout, Heart disease, Hernia, Hypertension, Hypotension, Impetigo, Kidney disease, Leukemia, Liver disease (except hepatis), Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy, Obesity, Pleurisy, Rheumatic fever, Septicemia, Sexual impotence, Thrombotic and Embolic disorders, Thyroid disease, Tumor, Ulcer of the gastro-intestinal tract, Venereal disease


So, the way I understand it, is that we can't really advertise for Viagra anyway, even though we do.

That's why they never say what it does....that's why they have those crazy guys prancing around and then flash the name of the drug and "call your doctor".....the guys prancing and the guys singing in the shower really freak me out!

What about the one where the guy wakes up and BK is in bed with him, flashin' that burger-eatin' grin? *Shudder*

I was watching that show the other night as well. When the girl shared her letter and recalled the memories of being raped, I was completely sick to my stomach. It was probably the rawest emotion I have seen on TV in quite sometime.

YES!!! It creeps me out. I always jump when I see him.

Extremely scary. I don't know WHAT advertisers are thinking about.

I'm sick and tired of all these reality shows....who would do any of these things in reality anyway.....I'm curious to see what the next show title will be next......

And also that show w/ Bam on it the one where he tortures his family....if I were his parents I'd kick his ____ (feel free to add your choice of word) for real..

Those tacky commercials where people testify ( test-a-lie) about how a service or product worked for them.

The medicine commericial (Mederma or something). The child has a scar and he talks about it. Then, at the end, he moves his face which was a paper mask on a stick. I can't even describe it.
