Sick Advertising ....

#1

Post by Del.Monte »

Anybody else notice how radio advertising especially on Newstalk is infected by sponsored medical ads.
Today had Moncrieff on and come the 3pm Ad break was treated to this: https://www.goloudplayer.com/episodes/m ... AyMy5tcDM=

3pm Ad break - start listening at 00.55.28

1.Supervalu.

2.Birr Castle.

3. Allergies Ad sponsored by Clonmel Healthcare.

4. Glenveagh Homes

5. Understanding Shingles.ie sponsored by GSK in association with Chronic Pain Ireland

7.Workplace Stress: Mental Health Ad by HSA.IE


8. Forever Young Festival.

9. An Post Commerce.

So 33% of the Ads in one break were about health - how on earth did we survive before all these parasites and quangos got all over the airwaves like a rash??

The only thing missing was the disgusting advert from Fanagan's Undertakers and the Blackrock Clinic (open 9-5, Monday/Friday) bring your platinum credit card..... :x :x :x :x .
