I always thought the generic nature of many of these ads are slightly strange. They’d show some smiling woman walking down a beach, hair blowing in a breeze. Then they start talking about a medicine for COPD, bipolar disorder, acid reflux or whatever. I guess the viewer is supposed to assume that the woman is afflicted with one of these maladies and now is relieved from it? To me it looks like stock footage of some random lady walking down a beach who had no clue she’d be in a ad for Prozac.

This pill might fucking kill you

teeheeheee

It also might cause your eyes to explode

I don’t know if I’d want to live in a world where people spontaneously break out into songs about their type 2 diabetes.

I just always imagine that those ads are the vivid hallucinations of a patient in a mental hospital.

The unfortunate reality is most people would rather choose “Joy” pills rather than face the realities that are required to be faced if we want to fix everything.

I always say this: ads exist in a parallel dimensions where problems are nonexistent. What minor problems there are can be solved trivially in less than 30 seconds.

You can certainly aspire to those things, some of them are rather easy to accomplish.

That’s why I take Claridryl!
