"So my doctor said 'try ASS Effects'"... um, no she didn't.  No doctor in their right mind would say that unless they were being "paid off" in some way... not that things like that EVER happen as I'm sure our medical community is entirely free from all flaws that plague our society such as desire of wealth.

I don't listen to radio, but I occasionally wonder if there's a radio commercial for this same drug, because on the radio there isn't a website and a logo that you can see to realize that this drug is not spelled "ASS FX", and everything you say in regards to the product would make it sound as if they're trying to cure acid reflux by inducing sound effects from the patients anus.  And I don't care if there is some sort of scientifical bullshit name that the decided on product name is short for: THIS PRODUCT IS A MARKETING MISTAKE!!!  Am I TRULY the only one hearing/seeing this commercial who takes issue with this?  I don't have an acid reflux problem, but if I did, and my doctor recommended ASS FX, I would punch him in the face and go to the nearest drug store and get something OTC.

I truly feel that we - as a culture - need to demand more from our media.  We've all seen the Matrix or - if not - a dozen movies that use as much wire, camera work, and CGI to be at least partly aware of what the average eight year old armed with a laptop could potentially air on YouTube.  And my nephews, half that age, could have come up with at the LEAST a name that didn't sound like "ASS EFFECTS".

Americans settle.  It pisses me off.  I am not unAmerican to say this, I am - in fact - horribly annoyed by my fellow Americans who have somehow managed to make the worst possible food chains the most popular (McDonald's, White Castle).

Remember in the movie Half Baked where Bob Saggett jumps up and is all "BOO THIS MAN!" because marijuana is "not an addiction" etc.  We seriously need more behavior like that.  Not the sucking dick for coke thing, but the standing up, being seriously pissed off thing when the item being presented simply isn't up to standards.

Sure, I'm just as much a child of television and internet porn as anyone else in my generation is.  All watching more of this shit does is make us more accepting of it.  Complacent, even.  I'm... rather bored of making fun of it.  Well, not completely.  But if all new commercials, TV shows, movies, NEWS - ffs, etc.  is going to be laced with this bullshit like: oh I hope no one notices how badly we fucked this up, it will begin to lose its humor.  Already has for the most part.  I can't even watch Comedy Central anymore because they only have to mention any source of media and I already know the punchline.  Every once in awhile - I too - would like to be surprised by something clever.
