All the drug ads on TV are enraging.

Can’t advertise beer, but you can advertise pills.

It’s not as if the USA has an epidemic of prescription drug abuse or anything.

The drug advertisements are terrible and pure LCD.

One of the worst is an animated pill holding hands with another pill, to show how the drug would "help" the antidepressant you are already taking.

I watched a drug commercial for a type of cancer. The side effects were worse than anything one could imagine, numbering in the dozen. The fine print at the end showed that the drug extended your life from 13.8 months to 14.2 months vs. placebo.

$3,000 per injection, every month.

Time is precious. But this is ridiculous.
