DAMN THE DRUG COMMERICALS!!!
Edited on Wed Mar-23-05 09:18 PM by Skip Intro
Are these things driving anyone else crazy?

Are there more of them suddenly?

I can't even listen to them go by while on the computer, I have to mute the tv.

One after another, happy joy music with images of people in bliss for one reason or another while a droning voice lists, with car-salesman-like speed, all the "consult your doctor if you have a liver because this shit will eat it up" and "side effects may include agony" bs,

Really, is it just me?

and the songs...."its a brand new dayyy-yya"

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

2. $100,000,000 a year spen on advertising and marketing for some drugs...
And we wonder why prescription drugs cost so much.

Research and Development, my ass.

Why the hell did you let Big Pill advertise, Big Dog?

3. And thousands of people
think to themselves, "Wow. That sounds kind of like me," and flock to the doctors for more pills.

Fucking disgusting, man.
