China Says No to Tampon Ads During Dinnertime

China has recently banned ads for sanitary napkins, hemorroid ointments and athlete’s foot medicine during dinnertime. Beijing resident Lei Jianqiang, 33, said, “Those sorts of ads are so disgusting. They completely ruin my appetite. Those skin disease ads in particular are really something. I jump up and change the channel.”

Now, if the U.S. could just follow suit and ban all those late night “dial 1-800-for-shit” ads, we’d be happy too.
