Today's Pet Peeve

A pet peeve thread.
I've never really been a fan of drug companies advertising their drugs on tv commercials.
To make matters worse, my tv provider, and even many of my streaming web sites, tend to play commercials BACK-TO-BACK.
Literally the same exact commercial played back-to-back with nothing between.
Today's Pet Peeve:
Just had to watch some stupid drug commercial, back-to-back.
Didn't catch the name of the drug, just some skin condition drug.
Didn't even catch if it was an ointment or a pill.
30 second commercial.
ENTIRE commercial (on mute, I always mute commercials) was nothing but a red rash being scratched to scabs!
An entire 30 seconds of watching somebody scratch themselves raw!
Doesn't wanna make me go out and ask a doctor for the ointment or pill, makes me wanna grab a bottle of Pepto-Bismol and drink the entire bottle.
