Google banned most of these Adsense ads awhile back after posters here complained about them, but some of the ads have been all over the place for months on other networks.
Apparently I need to turn the TV on more often, or get out more, or... ?
He's the drug company shill [nytimes.com] who wears surgical scrubs to go on Oprah's TV show, like he just rushed over to the studio from performing an emergency appendectomy or something.
I think the FTC *is* looking at the overall issue.
See, this is what I love about the internet. We have a company blatantly breaking the law on just abouty every major website on the web. It is the equivelent of a major corporation running ads on network TV and major cable stations for a quack product. A total newbie could document the laws they are breaking. And what does the FTC do... they look into making a new law that they will also only vaugely enforce because they don't still have a clue about the web.
Really, I just want the FTC to enforce the current laws on blatant offenders. They don't need to make new ones.
