You can file this under the "Yeah, I knew that would happen" department. A consumer advocacy group is really ticked off because there are pharmaceutical advertisements are appearing on YouTube without any disclaimers or warnings (as they must have on television).

Corporations, typically speaking, hate it when they have to put any disclaimers or warnings on their products. Why? It’s because it decreases sales. Someone who is smarter than the average bear may (gasp) read one of those and say "Um.. I don’t think this is for me, it may be bad for my health."

Am I saying that pharma ads on YouTube need to have the same disclaimers as they do on television?

You’re damned right they do.
