These ads are one of the main reasons I became a cord cutter. I&#x27;m very happy they have not yet followed me onto any of the streaming services I use.<p>They are the creepiest thing ever on television. The actors sit around dinner tables with family members speaking unnatural, FDA manipulated dialog (&quot;Oh, I&#x27;m doing great, I&#x27;ve been taking Pradaxa for my afib, not caused by a heart valve problem!&quot;) Then you get the unending list of side effects read aloud (&quot;death&quot; almost always one) while the actors smile and stare off into space.<p>Occasionally, one of these ads will come in a 2 minute and 30 second variety that fills the entire commercial break.<p>A regulation I&#x27;d like to see is that all the side effects must be acted out in the commercial as they are read. Show the peacefully sleeping woman suddenly awakened, choking on her swelling tongue. Or a man running around with an actual 4+ hour erection.
