New Commercials from cchr.org

[joeactor]

Has anyone else seen the new commercials from cchr.org?

After seeing one that claims a huge number of deaths from antidepressants, I had to look them up.
Looks like they are affiliated with Scientology.

I've seen a definite rise in Scientology commercials generally, but these I found particularly disturbing (and potentially dangerous).

Can advertisers be held responsible for their commercial content?

Should they be?

I think it's important to notify a broadcaster if they're airing things you believe to be grossly unethical, such as the propaganda from the CoS against legitimate science. If calling a broadcaster can get Dollhouse a second season, I'm sure it can limit the exposure of these lies.

Agreed - next time I see one, I'll make a note of the channel and time.

dangerous stuff,

Absolutely, enough calls and a network will do something. Hell, when Carnivale was canceled after its first season on HBO, there was such an outcry from the fans that it came back for a second season. Same with, as Will said, Dollhouse, or Jericho. Just be prepared to be ignored.
