I especially like the ads that give you no clue as to what the drug is actually supposed to do for you.

I always wondered about that myself. Turns out the Feds require that if the commercial tells you what the drug does, then they also have to list the vast array of side effects that are possible.

Thx, was wondering about that, figured the FDA was involved somehow.

Ah ha! That does explain it. There was some radio ad running a couple of years ago, it might have been for Olestra, and not for a drug, but in any event the list of side effects was absolutely stomach turning. It didn't last too long.
