...drug commercials on tv? I swear, all I see lately is Drug commercials on tv. There seems to be a drug for anything and everything nowadays. If you are tired, restless, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, horny, hot, cold, hungry etc, etc. I think that's a big problem in this country. The drug companies are bombarding us with all sorts of drugs. Lunesta, Cialis, Toprol, it goes on and on.

Unfortunately, as a bipolar impotent genital herpes suffering heartburn afflicted skin flaking depressed high cholesterol leveled individual, I need this stuff.

On my way to CVS, I better check my blood pressure too.

I love the way they throw in the disclaimer.

"This drug may cause heart attack, stroke, blood clots, suicidal thoughts, indigestigion and death."

I mostly tune them out. What I hate is the thousands of e-mail I get for viagra and cialis every day. Also I get alot for rolex watches, which is strange.

I just remembered, abt two years ago the actress who portrays a "herpes infected" patient sued the company that made the commercial because people would recognize her as the girl WITH HERPES and they assumed she really did have herpes. She couldn't get dates, etc. Now mind you, why would you take a job like that? If offered a job on a commercial like that, I wouldn't take it? Would any of you?

No I wouldnt! And I doubt shes going to get anything by suing them.. hello, it was her JOB and Im sure they had major contracts in that. What I get a kick out of is those kids who talk about being sooo embarassed about wetting their beds, then they go and endorse Goodnights! Given they probably are actors, but hello its just stupid.

I love how you put things...STUPID is what she was then. Hopefully she learned. But I would think very hard abt doing a product endorsement. I guess some people think they won't be recognized simply because they are in a commercial and they think no one pays much attention to detail, but obviously people do.

I don't mind some of them, because, well, I'm weird and interested in prescription drugs. However, I could do without the Viagra/Cialis/Levitra ones. Let's face it, men know they're out there; we don't need to let them know anymore.

The ones I hate are the ones that don't tell you what they're for. "Talk to your doctor today to see if *fill in drug name here* is right for you!" Can you imagine if say a guy went in to his doctor and asked if, oh...the Nuva Ring...was right for him, and the doctor tells him it's only for women?

Not that the Nuva Ring commercial doesn't tell what it's for...just the first thing I thought of.
