Some of the worst ads on TV come from drug companies and law firms. At times, the ad copy can be downright nonsensical.
From a typical pharmaceutical ad:
"Don't take [our product] if you have [condition, condition, condition], or if you are allergic to [our product]."
How would I know I'm allergic to it unless I take it?
From a typical law firm ad:
"If you or a loved one have suffered serious injury or death from [disease or defective product], contact the law offices of Dewey, Cheatham and Howe."
If I have suffered death, I'll have a hard time contacting anyone!
