Is it normal to get enraged at a commercial?

Okay, so today I was watching TV, feeling fine, everything was normal. A commercial came on that advertised adult vaccines for the whooping cough, arguing that if you had an infant they were very vulnerable to it. It had a mother holding an infant, and periodically it cut away to the sound of a baby hacking and gasping for breath, the mother helpless as she held it. I was filled with extreme anger at the depiction of the sick baby, I felt like I wanted to kill the producers of the ad. I don't know why...

  • Well that explains why my dad was talking about whooping cough the other day.

  • I hate that commercial too. The sound of the coughing baby makes me uncomfortable. It's kinda sickening. But I guess that's the point of it. It makes you want to prevent your child from getting pertussis.
