How about no drug adverts? Is that really so hard? I don’t know a single person who has ever asked their doctor about something they saw on TV.

How about ads that actually tell you what the hell it does? “Ask your doctor if perflorfinmaxim is right for you”. FOR WHAT?

Me: Hey doc, is perflorfinmaxim right for me?
Doc: That’s for people who leak pus out of their left pupil, so no

Why is direct marketing of drugs even allowed at all? Because our regulators are captured by corporate money.
