Stupid Advertisers

So I'm sitting here watching "We Were Soldiers Once and Young" on TNT in HD and the movie is at the part where the lines are overrun and the guy who just had a baby today gets hit with napalm by accident.  He's in his buddy's arms in severe pain and tells his friend (I think) to take care of his wife and new baby.  At that very moment, they cut to commercial for....a frickin' birth control pill.  WTF?  This isn't just any birth control pill but one that supposedly reduces "irritability."  So there are lots of shots with hot skinny women with big white smiles acting overly happy presumably because their periods and cramping are both light.  Let me tell you it did not reduce my irritability - quite the opposite.  I'm accustomed to commercial interruptions watching regular TV but com'on!

All I can say is that whoever the ad person was that bought that slot for that birth control pill should be frickin' fired.  If this were the USSR I'd order them to the gulag.
