When life gives you lemons, make Whiskey Sours. So, when the first ad for female incontinence comes on, I know I have time to do things I have been putting off. I can go to the garage and change the oil in my wife's car. Then I can visit the fridge on the way back and get my nightly diet Dr. Pepper. I return to my chair just in time to hear the man tell me that some unpronounceable drug for a rare, unknown disease may give me thoughts of suicide, and if those thoughts happen, I should quit taking the crap. Now, back to our regularly scheduled program.

I like the way you think. On a more serious note, does anyone think that the Pharma companies could be made to obey the ethical considerations about advertising prescription-type drugs at all? Seems to me the ads are meant to craete pressure on doctors to prescribe the drugs their patients have seen hyped on tv and media. Used to be the general public never used to see this kind of content aimed at them. It’s obvious that these ads are extremely well-produced, which means Pharma has deep pockets.
