I remember so clearly how we NEVER saw television commercials for prescription medicine. Unheard of!

Then, in the late 1980's, direct-to-consumer prescription drug advertising became completely legal — but in only New Zealand and the United States — nowhere else on Earth.

Now Big Pharma spends more on marketing than they do on research, mainly because most of the basic research has already been funded by federal grants — i.e., taxpayers (you and me).

So next time you see a prescription drug commercial on TV, remember that YOU are paying (through our taxes) for the ad's creation and airing.

Then, on top of that, we are personally shelling out ridiculous bankruptcy-causing dollars for the medicine itself — many, many times the cost of the actual drugs — to pay for their commercials.

Thanks to Bush, Reagan, and Republicans! 🤬

"If you listen to people talking about TV commercials sometimes you wonder why they haven't chopped their TV sets up before this. They're *that* mad." (1955 Y&R house ad)

Every week I pull data on how many fics are in each fandom and compare to the previous week, then calculate the percentage increase to determine fastest growing fandoms.  Since this naturally skews towards smaller fandoms, I have included the same data filtered to Over 1k, 5k, & 10k fics.

Stiff Stuff “The Stuff That Works” 1990

Closing tomorrow, 6/24, is Cross Communication, an exhibition of Chris Burden’s relics, films, video works, and other materials that document his early performances at Gagosian’s 75th and Park location in NYC.

Walking into the gallery and hearing one of his TV commercials in which he reads off the names of famous artists followed by his own name (Chris Burden Promo (1976)), is a humorous introduction to Burden’s often audacious work. Poem for LA from 1975, which follows with the messages- “SCIENCE HAS FAILED”, “HEAT IS LIFE” and “TIME KILLS” still resonates today.

Check out the video below to see the commercials and hear Burden discuss the work.

Other videos included have him crawling across glass; lying between two sheets of glass that are on set on fire (Icarus); and one of his most infamous- being shot in the arm (Shoot, 1971). The less outrageous works are great too, including Disappearing (1971), pictured above.

For more on the artist, the excellent documentary Burden, by Richard Dewey and Timothy Marrinan, follows his career from these earlier works to the large scale sculptures like Metropolis II and Urban Light that came later. Both of these installations are on view in Los Angeles at LACMA.

Botox commercials are super successful at making me never want to get botox ever.

"The only captive audience that counts is the one that's captured by the sheer excellence of your commercials." (1955)

Tongue speak. Endorse product.

Sure, we’ve seen a part of your body having a mind of its own (for example, your stomach), but this feels fresh and very apropos for some unique condiments.

I love the barebones syntax of the tongue in these that sets up the succinct and delightfully bizarre tagline, “Obey tongue.”

The trippy lighting, sets, angles, and performances fit the oddball copy well. Here's a second spot in the campaign.

The campaign focuses on unique condiments. Good. Sir Kensington’s yucky organic ketchup is NOT featured here. Good.
