red.. red.. red.. more red pill please!
The red pill and its opposite, the blue pill, are popular culture symbols representing the choice between embracing the sometimes painful truth of reality (red pill) and the blissful ignorance of illusion /welfare state (blue pill). The terms, popularized in science fiction culture, are derived from the 1999 film The Matrix.
LOL, every time I see that, I think:
"Choose one. You have a cold. If you take the red DayQuil, you will be up all night, and lots of strange thoughts will fill your head. Take the blue NyQuil, you will go back to sleep and wake up as if nothing had happened..."
