Holiday season advertising in America:

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

Kids with disabilities and birth defects, abused animals and expensive perfumes.

Strange days.

1. And don't forget...

the ubiquitous pharmaceutical commercials. I'm lucky I don't have any of those diseases or medical conditions, because the side effects of those drugs sound much worse than any disease I've ever had. I don't know if I'd have the nerve to take any of them.

4. I know

what you mean. When I took Enbrel and my mom heard a commercial for it or read about it (this has been years ago) she says that is so dangerous, why are you taking that! I get my blood work done every couple months mom. I am on top of it. Don’t worry about it.

5. Glad it's working for you.

The amount of money these pharmaceutical companies spend on advertising is outrageous!

They could probably cut the cost of these medicines in half if they just let Doctors decide if their patients should take them. They want everyone sitting in their living rooms to demand these drugs from their Doctors.

Anyway, glad Enbrel is working for you without any of the possible harsh side effects wrecking your quality of life.

2. And $80,000 cars with bows on them.

You get a car, and you get a car, and you get. . .

6. but they're nice cars

great to sleep in while you avoid them being repoed. I tell my wife I want the Bavarian Money Waster SUV in honey red.

I am setting myself up for disappointment I'm sure.

3. Best thing about tomorrow

Will be its the last day for most Medicare Advantage ads.
