Distasteful TV adverts

I know I should post this somewhere appropriate but the sheer effort of finding something relevant is tedious.

I just want to vent about the Kleenex advert where a young woman openly sneezes into the lens of the camera. I have a horror of people sneezing without a tissue or handkerchief and this advert sickens me so much that I have to look away or switch off.
Also the one for incontinence pads where the actor claims to be "releasing her pee, letting it all go!"
Do we really have to be disgusted by these gross and offensive adverts, which in my case, only make me vow NEVER to buy that product?

Should have said I think it relates to people doing a number two at work, which I really don’t need to know about.

Please correct me if I have got the wrong end of the stick.

I think modern ads reflect the general attitude in this country. Standards have dropped across everything. There is little sense of decency and decorum.
It might seem petty but there are plenty of times I avoid buying a product because I don't like the tv ad.
