| 31. I have noticed a bunch of new ads recently |

that aren't even for prescription drugs. I think the vitamin/health food industry has also begun to run the same kind of slick ads as the pharmaceutical industry, like the ads for Avlimil(sp?) for women, or that other one that's supposed to increase your energy. I'll bet if you looked at the ingredients on either one, you'd find the same products at GNC for a whole lot less.
