Big Pharma, among the most corrupt organizations in the world.
Every day on TV, I've been trying to keep track, we see ads 'if you have ever taken the drug (fill in the blank) and have suffered the following (fill in the blank all the way to DEATH) please call (phone number). A settlement has been made with (name of Phara Corp) in the amount of (up to billions) for the damage including death (if the person using the drug has died, and you are the next of kin, please call).
Right after those ads, we are treated to the other ones: 'If you suffer from (fill in some kind of whatever) talk to your doctor about (fill in drug). Scrawling across the bottom of the screen are a list of ailments, including DEATH, that you risk should you take this drug.
BUT, happy music, loving couple, strange women prancing around, beautiful scenery etc, joyous ailment free people, create images directly contradicting the warnings scrolling across the bottom of the screen. We have made a game out of these ads. Just read the warnings, ignore all the 'entertainment', and then ask yourself, why do Americans need so many drugs to get through each day?
