Is there poetry on TV? (Other than ad-jingle doggerel?)"
Appreciate the humor, but Yes, on WOSU Ch 34 Columbus and elsewhere even post banned Garrison Keillor. That is not my point. The FIRST AMENDMENT is. Yes, Sesame St.too.
Let's ban drug commercials on TV! (Fostering a culture of drugs for the sake of Pharma profits is not the First Amendment.)

I've noticed lately a preponderance of ads with scripts that have nothing to do with the product. I don't get that at all. What's the point? Of course, about 20 years ago, we were overrun with ads that didn't advertise any product, which I also didn't get. I soon determined that if I had no idea what they were selling, I didn't need it, and ignored them. Somehow I survived without those products, or whatever they were trying to sell.

I dunno if I'm any smarter ... but I'm still here.
