2. You would think that
anyone who has a condition causing a need for these medications would find out from their doctor about what can help them.

7. Yeah...
Not to mention that the doctor will tell you about the side effects, and you'll hear it. With the commercials you don't listen to the side effects, you watch the happy people. I like to listen for side effects that are worse than the condition you're trying to treat.

13. But the fields...
sure you might die, but if you don't take the pills you'll never get the chance to pick wildflowers and fly a kite in a spring meadow!

14. It just reminds me of the song Underwear Goes Inside The Pants.
You know we have more prescription drugs now.
Every commercial that comes on TV is a prescription drug ad.
I can't watch TV for four minutes without thinking I have five serious diseases.
Like: "Do you ever wake up tired in the morning?"
Oh my god I have this, write this down. Whatever it is, I have it.
Half the time I don't even know what the commercial is:
people running in fields or flying kites or swimming in the ocean.
I'm like that is the greatest disease ever. How do you get that?
That disease comes with a hot chick and a puppy.

6. seriously! ya know what I freakin hate is those commercials
where there's fluffy dogs and happy people and picnics in the park, but then the voice of God goes "ask your doctor if Happy Pill is for you"...NO symptoms, NO targeted disease/condition, just a vague existentially depressing series of images that link to and unknown pill....scary shit!

3. Yeah..I was more put off by the weight control drug they advertised
that *may cause oily rectal discharge* - not what I want to get "stuck in the picture" with right before dinner.

5. There is something inherently wrong about anal leakage...
that's a side effect of those Olestra potato chips

11. Then I guess you are one of the lucky ones...
I haven't run into anyone with that problem as of yet. But I'll still pass, I don't want any part of those side effects

9. the cost of our prescription drugs
is so high because pharmaceutical companies spend a lot of money on research... From what I understand, they do most of their research on drugs like Valtrax, Viagra, etc. I get sick of those commercials, too.
