Lola16 June 14, 2014 Share June 14, 2014 I thought this was going to be Rosemary's Baby. It's Damien the internet savvy infant. Gawdawful. I was torn on this ad. It's McDonald's Brazil so it's all about soccer. Good concept, just misses on the execution. And it's so long. So very very long.

Moose135 January 23, 2018 Share January 23, 2018 Drug commercials are only allowed in the United States and New Zealand. Canada allows some commercials, with restrictions on their message. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3278148/ They were first allowed in the US in 1985, but really took off in 1997 when the FDA relaxed a rule requiring companies to offer a detailed list of side effects in commercials. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2794-foreign-commercials/#findComment-3990028
kokapetl March 21, 2018 Share March 21, 2018 In Australia, a workaround is (or was) for a drug manufacturer to air ads that basically described a problem, like obesity, and within the ad, claimed treatment might be available via contacting your GP. No drug could ever be promoted or suggested. This example described Xenical/Orlistat when it was prescription only (20 years ago). I can’t recall anything being promoted since. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2794-foreign-commercials/#findComment-4162298

I’ve seen similar ads here in the US(a general description of the condition, followed by “talk to your doctor/visit this website to learn about a prescription treatment option”), but not recently.

Taeolas February 20, 2024 Share February 20, 2024 Thought we had a thread dedicated to Canadian commercials but it seems to be gone now, so I assume this is where they go now. Saw a commercial with Peter Mansbridge (and co-staring Peter Mansbridge x infinity) over the weekend (most of the time I FF past them). As a commercial it was neat, since it basically mosaiced him through the years into a Press conference type setting where he 'interviewed' himself. On the flip side, I'm disappointed/annoyed that it was ultimately for Reverse Home Mortgages and I'm sad such a respected personality is doing that sort of thing now. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2794-foreign-commercials/#findComment-8291276
