Re Abbvie Re "I struggled with frequent gas..." ad for EPI


Re "I struggled with frequent gas..." ad for EPI

Dear AbbVie,

This ad for the so-called EPI ailment which begins with woman actress saying she struggles with frequent gas... blah blah blah has been playing on the radio airwaves for almost as long as I can remember now or seems like it, and continues to be on almost every sports radio show  among other radio shows - sometimes during every single break on some sports stations. 

Obviously you have almost unlimited income to pay for these ads, but they are very degrading & annoying to listen to over and over again.  

Is it possible that you could change the ad so there's just a little less  gross-out factor ?    Nobody likes to think about a woman having farting problems  between almost every single commercial break on the radio.  Especially it's not good for kids to be hearing this all the time. 

So I'm just asking you to please  change this sad ad  so it's a little less graphic or discontinue it altogether. please do the right thing. Its about  ethics. Thank you very much.
