re: #174 Alouette

I see the pharma companies are pitching their product directly to the patient (consumer) in TV commercials and magazine ads. It used to be that you only saw these ads in medical journals, now you see them everywhere.

I especially love the part when they rattle off the side effects at double speed. blablabla SUDDEN DEATH blablablabla CANCER blablablabla HEART ATTACK blablablabla DO NOT TAKE IF PREGNANT

Mutating toe fungus
Anal leakage
Thoughts of suicide
Thoughts of manslaughter
Peace on Earth (hey that’s a good side effect)
Bleeding fingernails
Nocturnal emissions (another good side effect?)

The list goes on and on …
