Commercial!

[ladybug]

yeah, i was offended by that commercial too... talk about putting more pressure on us to stifle our coughs during cold and flu season to make OTHER people feel better! urgh....

I also do agree that for the general public it is maybe a good thing to show how coughers (without cf or asthma) should not cough on others and maybe could stay home if they are coughing that bad. Although, its hard to tell who is coughing cause they SHOULD be or who is coughing cause they're sick. I guess I'd err on the side that hopefully the commercial reminds others who don't have CF not to cough in my direction and make ME sick. LOL

Either way, I hear what you're saying and I also was offended that now this just makes a point of saying you shouldn't cough in public. Urgh.

I understand how you feel Emily. I hate seeing commercials like that but I know I don't have a real reason to. I mean, when my students cough I want them as far away as possible from me. So it is a hypocritcal madness i get<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

See then I'm a weirdo. Everyone else either doesn't get mad... or gets mad and hates coughers same as most people do. I don't. I don't run from people that cough. I don't really care, quite frankly. So at least I'm not a hypocrite in my hatred for that ad. *shrug*

Emily,

I am going to sound really WEIRD, but I have already pictured the first time some person makes a comment about Zoe coughing....I will try to remain calm...but there will be a very strong point about cf and WHY she is coughing!!! I guess all my anger is hiding deep inside...waiting for the ***** that says something about her cough!!! LOL<img src="i/expressions/devil.gif" border="0">
Love,
Jada
Zoe's mom

i'm not sure but I might have been that girl on livejournal. I went to the opera recently and the program said "silence sponsored by [some brand of cough drops]."

I know Emily doesn't remember this, but I have told her the story over the years. When she was about five, we went to the movies to see whatever the new Disney movie was. We were there for about 15 minutes before someone got up and went to the manager to complain about her coughing. We were asked to leave the theater. We got refunded our money, but they wouldn't let us back into the theater even after I explained why she was coughing.

Emily I hope you were offended by my answer!

I don't run from other coughers either, just my students so that is why I think I am a hypocrite. Well just one student really who will NEVER cover his mouth and I can actually feel it spray on me.

I wrote awhile back about another add (I think Robutussin) that was similar to this one. I was sick at the time and started swearing at the TV. My bf thought I was nuts<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
