Unfortunately, I don’t think so… :(

Polls are paid big money to tell networks how many viewers they have & they have no accurate way of proving it. Statistics is the biggest circumstancial inaccuracies layed out to the public!</p> It is easy to see why networks are caught in the AD trap.If you have more ads you can have less content in your programs.

I swear someday i will show up in a Prius, with a peace t-shirt, and a button with Michael Moore's face on it. That'll learn um!</p> As a football fan, i see the direct impact “tough trucks” and beer commercials have on men of all ages.There’s nothing like seeing a group of men in a lifted Ford F250 pull slowly into the parking lot af a sports bar, decked out in mass produced team jerseys, with caps sporting Nike or beer logos.

Patients get hammered with direct to consumer prescription drug ads and doctors are constantly compromising themselves with their interactions with drug companies with free meals, pens, books, etc. I think that one of the real problems is that young doctors and medical students simply don't think about this infiltration during their hectic days which can go up to 36-40hrs straight in the hospital. It seems like it would be great to have some sort of culture jamming that could be carried out by activist medical students and residents in the hospitals and clinics that would force people to recognize their acceptance of something that is really quite harmful to the fiduciary relationship between health care providers and their patients. I really like the work of nofreelunch.org and a lot of the work you guys are doing particularly the really elegant solutions like the you don't need it and the press on cold sores. keep up the amazing work and if you ever want to hit back at big phrma send me an email.</p> As a physician I am always concerned and dismayed by the infiltration of advertising into the doctor-patient relationship.
