Something I've always wondered is where does a person have to be in his or her acting career to agree to do a prescription drug commercial? I get that it's nationwide exposure and that's great for the actor, but for some, it's nationwide exposure for pretending to have erectile dysfunction.
This question really started plaguing me when I saw a commercial for some prescription acne commercial. It's a bunch of teenagers who have zits doodled all over their face. How do you ever live that down? "Yeah I'm an actor." "Have I seen you in anything?" "Yeah, a commercial for a raging case of acne." Not exactly future oscar winners.
Depression commercials? I feel like all their friends hid the sharp objects in the house as soon as they saw them in the depression commercials where everything is gray and it's always raining outside.
Even worse are the ones for lady part or man part issues. For women, they all have to look smug and content to be struggling with a case of herpes or PMS. For guys, apparently once their ED is taken care of, they regain the ability to go fishing and then take their wives out dancing. Because ED prevents all that.
What takes the cake for me recently though are then ones for what's known as "stool softeners." Dear actor: you're in a commercial about poo. Congratulations, you've arrived!
Seriously, I just don't get it.
