Up here in the Great White North, a VERY BAD commercial has come back to life with a vengeance - it is coming on all channels, multiple times a day. I *know* we previously had a thread about this, but the 'searchy thingy' isn't finding it, so...here we go again.
 
(ohhhhh....this is one disgusting commercial!)

People have to be told to not re-use those things? When's the commercial for kids to not re-eat the chocolate bar they had yesterday coming out?

HOLY CATHETER!

Let's all give a warm, wet welcome to Holly Cath!
 
NOW we are being bombarded with the ORIGINAL commercial, too...making me start to believe someone in the news business got themself a little infection they can't seem to shake and is gettin' 'em all clogged up.

At least this one doesn't have that Southern hick of a Doctor who was so stiff in front of the camera and said "Stap usin derty cathaturs."

Is that even a word when used as a verb? "I have to CATH?" Would it be "I have to put in a catherter?"

Depends if one speaks with a hair-lip - in which case it seems it'd be MUCH easier to get the point across with the 'short version' (although, why would any non-doctor be interested?)

They changed their phone number but didn't change "Holly's" name?

So wait, which one is the original--fake blonde "Holly" or brunette "Holly"?  I've only ever seen the blonde "Yernary tract infections" version.
 
They should have called her "Cathy."

Funny thing about these commercials... I used to see it on one of the cable networks all the time, but only part of it. She would come on, say "I had to re-use catheders", then another commercial would come on. Every time.
That somehow made it more disturbing. All of the eye-bleachingly bad imagery with none of the solutions or product endorsement.

This is officially one of the most disgusting TMI commercials I have EVER seen.  First of all, who caths themselves?

Second, when she says that she boils and dries them so that she can reuse them it makes me gag.  I hope she has a special pot to boil her catherters in and she doesn't use the pot she boils her pasta in.
 
Then, she goes on to say she gets urinary tract infections...the whole thing is just disgusting.
 
Isn't this something that should be brought up in a doctors office?  I don't want to see this while I am trying to watch "Press Your Luck" on GSN!!

UGH. They play this ad so much when I'm trying to watch Criminal Minds.
It's nasty. Plus they've got more people. I don't want to KNOW!

Bunnyhead, yes people cath themselves...I knew a guy once who had to, and he was very conscious about how clean everything was and used that pharmaceutical iodine (can't think of it's name..very dark red) to use to disinfect.  Infections can come of this process very easily, and not good for the patient, making them seriously ill.  I know it is a hard commerical to watch, but if you knew someone who had to do it, you sympathize.

In Chicago, MeTV and MeToo play ads like these every commercial break!

I beg them to replace these grossly anatomical ads with gems from their "Classic Commercial" collection, but they say, "Sorry, bills have to be paid."

Whens the "don't reuse condoms" ad coming?Wacko
All routing and shouting and giving the yell,
Like so many demons just raised up from hell,
The boys they were drunken on powder and wine,
They came to burn Lawrence just over the line.
