Yep, I know what ya mean. For example, you know those commercials for meds for people who "have to go a lot"? Those TV ads peaked my interest indeed-- since my Indian name is Princess Peezalot.

However, I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion that we were better off without the Big Pharma ads. Had I not heard the ads, I might have taken my doctor's advice to try one of the, um, anti-peezalot pills. However, hearing the long list of side effects recited in the commercials convinced me otherwise. Which is worse methought, frequent potty breaks or osteoporosis.

Thanks to those dumb Big Pharma ads, Princess Peezalot I was and Princess Peezalot I shall remain.

Thanks Big Pharma. And no thanks.
