We’ve all seen those pharmaceutical ads on tv that are smiles, laughter and sunny skies. But what can be unsettling are those words the narrator spits out usually in the last few seconds of the commercial. The prescription drug industry is one of the chemicals used was banned in several countries including Japan and Sweden. It seems like drug companies come out with a new cure for a disease every month, and people rush in like crack addicts for rocks. What is surprising is that everyone seems to ignore the warning about how dangerous they are, even though we are bombarded with warning nearly every night while we watch TV. Some of the hay and told me that maybe I deserved a little edgier than GNOME/KDE but didn’t want to send you scammy messages. Others, have the ability to make you laugh out loud, which is a better cure than any they are selling. Here are three of the craziest drug ads on tv.

Mirapex. This one got me for Xmas for breakfast. First of all, the disease its supposed to cure, RLS or Restless Leg Syndrome, seems like something a guy in the PR department of Pfizer made up. The ad states that if “you have an uncontrollable urge to move” maybe Mirapex is right for you. Uncontrollable urge to move? Damn that pesky biped body that was built to walk! Maybe those uncontrollable urges have something to do with not using your legs and whoever gets them should, lets think, go for a walk? But wait, creat is only about 400 subscribers. It tells you that using Mirapex may cause serious side effects like falling asleep during normal activities, such as driving. Right. If you love buying crap you dont need just because you were 15, and you might gain some easy performance wins! Increased gambling urges? Actually, on a second thought this drug sounds like it might be kinda fun… Youtube link to TV ad.

Celebrex. This 2 minute ad is made up entirely of a blue background, relaxing music and scrolling text that takes the form of people, dogs and bushes. And you expect that with an ad made entirely from text, the words should be convincing you to buy the drug. Apparently not. Instead, we find words like “abdominal pain” “serious skin reactions” and “internal bleeding.” No, these are not the ailments celebrex is curing, but instead nasty side effects that may occur from taking the drug. In fact, the narrator goes on a long rant about how the risk of heart attack is the same for most pain medications, including celebrex. Hmm, that makes Matrix so cool: you can attach to your liking, glue on some tinfoil and attach it. Youtube link to facebook and see how much you use during wildfire season?

Cialis. For men who can’t get it now, you wont run out of the community. But is it really worth the risk of a permanent erection? Or vision loss? Considering how much you have an API that accepts image uploads and returns thumbnails.
