Is anyone else hypnotized by that Celebrex commercial?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GvYI4VdVEI&feature=related

It usually comes on in the morning. It's the one with a blue background, and it has silouttes of people doing relaxing, carefree things. The silouettes are made up by white words, which are the same words that are being spoken by the spokeswoman with the soft, soothing voice. And in the background is this slow, gentle, repetitive guitar which basically repeats itself over the same few chords.

The crazy thing is, while you watch the siloutte people do things like taking walks and relaxing on the beach and you are listening to the calm, soothing spokeswoman speaking to the background music of the relaxing guitar music, you are basically sent into a hypnotic trance. And thus you don't realize that what the calm soothing spokeswoman is actually talking about are the risks and side effects of Celebrex, which include heart attack, stroke, stomach problems, all sorts of horrible stuff.

It's an utterly bizarre paradox of a commercial. And I swear, the damn thing will send you into a hypnotic trance. So that suddenly the risk of side effects will not seem to be that much of a problem....

1. I see what you mean
But, of course, they are not going to show someone who has taken their medication shitting blood.
