I'm getting really sick of these Anthony Anderson commericials about "Get real about diabetes"

Anybody seen these commercials? The latest they get right up in his face to try to make you uncomfortable.

They generally talk about like, even if you meet you A1C goals you are still at increased risk of heart attack, stroke or death.

Remind me again what the point of telling people with a degrading condition that they are more likely to die, even if they do what they are supposed to and meet thier A1C goals is?

The commercials make a point of saying they arent out to scare you, but I don’t need to be reminded every 15 minutes on commercials that diabetes, that I’m unlikely to get rid of, could kill me.

It’s like if someone had cancer someone coming on and saying, “Well, you shouldn’t have smoked I guess. Now there is a decent chance you are going to die.”

Annoying, and unnecessary.

People did this to my dad all the time, and to us after he was dead. It did not feel great.

His success in that industry is disgusting to me.

I can’t stand him in the ads,

I can’t stand he got a show,

I hate that he’s somehow getting more popular.

The man was accused of sexual assault in three cases.

If I remember correctly one victim was underage at the time.

I haven’t heard anything about it in a long time so I’m sure they did some sort of settlement type thing to keep it quiet.

But yes, I do believe he is an abuser of women.

I am tired of being told I must do all these things yet I will die early anyhow. How about some credit for making the effort?

Remember that jet lee film that Aaliyah was in with Anthony Anderson as the comedic side kick to her father? I can’t remember the name. I remember seeing it in theaters. His role was important to the fluidity of the film. But that’s like the only thing I know him from haha

I don’t know who this person is. But I can understand why you would feel this way.

We are all going to die one way or another one day. Just do your best in the meantime.

I always found it ironic that he was doing those diabetes commercials, while also making vodka commercials. Seems a bit hypocritical to shame people for having a health condition (diabetes), while promoting alcohol use. I think he is in the Smirnoff commercials.
