What's with all these DRUG ads on TV???

Seems like every other ad on TV is about some drug the "drug pimps" are pushing. First, they tell ya how good the drug is, the they tell ya how it could kill ya, then they want ya to run to the Dr. and get a fix. Holy Cow Crap.

He,s Going To Give Me Drugs That The Company Is Paying Him To Give [haha]

Funny you should bring that up. The other day I seen an ad for RLS (restless leg syndrom). I thought maybe they came up with something that would work on me. I looked the med up and its been around for like 5 years or so.

I have a restless leg, ain't telling which one...:p

Is'nt it crazy, why would anybody take a pill to cure dry itchy eyes. When the side effects might be cramps, heart attacks, bleeding ulcers, head aches, nose bleeds, roids, wheelhop, and possibly a flat tire on your boat trailer. The only thing restless on me is my urge to go fishin!!!! MERRY CRISTMAS

Glad to see someone else knows what I'm talking about. I can't remember the last time I went to bed and slept all night.
