Wait, ten seconds is literally a third of the ad time.

Exactly.

This seems excessive. All this would end up doing would be discouraging drug companies from doing traditional television advertising.

That wasn't the intent of this bill, it was just to make viewers more aware of the side effects, but now that you bring it up, is that a bad thing? Europe et al. have survived without drug commercials, and they aren't more sick because of it.

Yeah, to be honest I don't get why we need drug commercials at all.
