PRESCRIPTION DRUGS

Prescription drugs - we have a bunch of them on our bathroom counter, believe me.

But aside from that, I think some of the commercials for prescription drugs are pretty hilarious.  I mean, how many words, quickly said so that no one hears them, can they put into a commercial.  And they always show the beach, or the mountains, or somebody in a hammock, or throwing a football with some kids, or shopping in a cute little market holding flowers.  And, my favorite, the TWO bathtubs on the dock of a lake looking out to a mountain range. (The only time I've found one of those tubs outside, it had stagnate water and mosquitoes in it.)

So here are my TOP THREE favorite "passages" from these commercials.

(DISCLAIMER - So I don't piss anyone off, this is NOT meant to hurt anyone's  feelings. I know these are genuine, serious issues - believe me, I know.)

Ok, so anyway..........

THE TOP THREE STUPID THINGS PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES SAY IN THEIR ADS:

#3 - If you experience heart irregularity, you should stop taking this medication and call your doctor immediately.

#2 - If you are currently taking an antidepressant, and still feel depressed.......

And the #1 STUPID THING THAT PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES SAY IN THEIR ADS (and probably on everyone's list if they keep such lists, like I do), is.......

#1 - If you experience an erection lasting longer than four hours...............

I just think that if you, as the CEO of a multi-million dollar pharmaceutical company, have to say all these things, that you should probably have tested those drugs a little bit longer.  But, then again, where do you get all the test dummies???

I still get a few laughs every time I hear the ads.  I'm just sayin".
