I was watching the History Channel this morning (Underwater Universe) and I thought the ad line up that came on was interesting. The commercial break at 0855 consisted of:
-A lawyer urging viewers to sue Reglan
-An ad for Lunesta
-An ad for H&R Block
-An ad by AmgenWyeth to go to a special website to "get info about new, effective medications" lest you get joint deformity that can "stike in less than a month." Of note this same ad is playing again as I write this 20 minutes later.
-An ad for GM's Onstar system
-A lawyer urging viewers to sue Byetta (now there's a Plavix ad on).
-An ad for a future program on History Channel
So 2/3 of all the ads in that set (now the sue Byetta ad is on again) were about buying drugs or suing drug companies.
What the Hell is wrong with us?
