The last couple of week, I've seen an ad for a certain pharmaceutical on TV that's basically just a bunch of people standing around and repeating the name of the medication over and over to where it gets ridiculous:

"I take [name of medication]!"
"My dad takes [medication] too!"
"I should ask my doctor about [medication]!"
then the narrator says to ask your doctor about [medication].

Upon further research, if I understand right this is caused by a very baffling rule here in Canada where an advertisement for a medication can either state the name of the medication or its purpose, but not both.

Yeah, I haven't a clue either; just ban the damned things.
