[BC] Commercial Creativity

[James Potter]

Those lists of negative side-effects (contraindications in the pharma lingo) blow me away!  I'd run like my tail was on fire from those products after hearing the potential for disease, disfigurement and death.  You'd have to be nutz! Besides, all those disclaimers are stated both on the product carton and in the paper with the microscopic print inside, plus the doctor's and druggist's advice. It's just lawyer's uber-defensive behavior to put it on the air.  It all makes for grating, worthless commercial advertising.  You're supposed to go to your doctor and demand 'I want that drug I saw on TV to ease my knee joint pain, but will probably kill me!'  Right out of Comedy Central.
