consumption of huge amount of pepsi can be harmful for the health... do you recommend that OTV stops adds for Pepsi Cola?
what about alcohol adds?

Pepsi Cola and Alcohol don't pretend to have cures for certain illnesses. And that's a major difference, because ANYTHING can be harmful, I can kill myself with a toilet paper if I wanted to.
The point is that, those charlatan companies are luring people to spend an amount of money on a non-properly-researched-grandma remedy, instead of spending that money on something that is worth it. And viewing the level of gullibility in Lebanese people, essentially in older generations, many people will be trapped, and will harm themselves by not seeking real professionals' help.
That is why it is HIGHLY essential to have a PROPER central certification method for drugs in Lebanon. A certification means that a specific drug has been properly scientifically tested, and that has stochastic certainty at helping against a certain symptom/illness.
I am personally disappointed from OTV at so many levels, that I can say now that OTV is just another Lebanese station. It is not showing the expected level (at least according to me) of fulfilling a mission we all dreamed of, whether through advertising, art, news, or what have you.
