OxyContin risks downplayed by manufacturer. Will Pigboy take the bait?
Washington-AP -- A congressional probe finds that the company that makes OxyContin sent doctors promotional videos that downplayed the addictive painkiller's risks.

The General Accounting Office reports federal health officials say a 1998 Purdue Pharma video seemed "to make unsubstantiated claims." That video was never submitted for government review -- a failure the company blames on a slip-up.

The Food and Drug Administration says the video -- "minimized the risks associated with the drug."

Will OxyMoron blame his addiction on the drug manufacturer in light of this new report?

If he does,all I can think of to say is:

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

What about your personal responsibility Pigboy? I've got your rugged individual right here!!


I think this is going to be too tempting for him to pass up.

1. Information Wars
InfoWars thinks that OxyContin needs to be fixed so that users cant "cap" them to get high.

I think he should try "huffing" some gold or silver paint. That fat pig heart of his might just give in!
