If I'm thinking of the right person, the guy himself comes off as a huge douchebag on his travel blog and his initial qualifications for offering the service never seemed to be more than "has written resumes for himself and gotten jobs in the past."

Why are there commercials for prescription medication? You aren't able to go out and buy it yourself, and shouldn't the doctor know what's best?

The best part is 99% of the commercial is how it can fix you and then there's that part at the end where they list the side effects and it's basically yea, it could fix you---but it could kill you too

That's why you see really vague medication commercials sometimes.

Just because it's listed as a possible side effect doesn't mean it's likely to happen at all. If you look at the drug information that comes with a lot of prescriptions (or if you just look them up online) you will also see the statistics of what happened and how often during the drug trials. Or some things can be avoided by regular blood tests, depending on what it is you're taking. Human biochemistry is super complex and that's why they can't just pop out some miracle drug with no side effects. For content, there's this terrible commercial that I can't find on youtube right now about some travel website where a dog barks "BOOK BOOK" instead of a normal dog bark. It really freaks me out when it comes on because it sounds nothing like an actual dog.

Someone was once telling me that for a long time there were a lot of laws in place for advertising prescription medication in TV commercials, too, that made it fairly difficult to get them approved on and on the air. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=113675737 quote:In the early 1980s, FDA regulations required that drug ads include both the name of a drug and its purpose, as well as information about all the side effects. But side-effect information often took two or three magazine pages of mouse print to catalog, and this wouldn't do for a major television campaign. As Castagnoli says, "We couldn't scroll the whole disclosure information over the television screen — OK?"

I once asked a doctor friend about that and he said it's because with anti-depressants you feel more motivated, and before you weren't even motivated enough to kill yourself. That's what he told me, and it sounds credible enough to me so I believe it.

So "suicidal thoughts" isn't that accurate, it's more like "actually carrying out suicide instead of just thinking about it." e: Regarding crap ads, how about those loving Aggro-Gator banner ads on here? They never have anything to do with the site (which is a garbage fire- it's literally a loving failblog/9GAG knockoff) and they're always bit.ly links now so you can't even mouse over them to check.

I can't remember the specifics of it, but when it comes to the list of side effects for drug advertisements, they have to list everything that came up in clinical trials. So if two people in their 60's out of thousands of all ages had heart attacks while taking the clinical trials, it has to be listed as a side effect.

I imagine the exact percentage of people reporting the symptoms have to meet some kind of threshold, but basically, yes. That's why almost every drug seems to list diarrhea, constipation, nausea, and headaches. Drug trials can last months. Think about the last few months of your life...odds are, you had one or more of those, and so would lots of other people in the trials. So to be safe, you list them so no one gets mad you didn't warn them they might have to piss out their rear end every now and then.

Yep, this is why there was a period where you would see Zyrtec commercials with a guy rock climbing or whatever, and then he'd stand up on top of the mountain and just yell 'ZYRTEC!' and that would be the whole commercial. Then one or two commercials later would be one that says "Do you have allergies? There's a new medication that can help." Since neither commercial included both the name and the purpose, they didn't have to have all the regulatory stuff.

My dad met Colonel Sanders and talked with him for a bit at a grand opening of a KFC around 1971, and I asked him if that's what he really sounded like. Pretty spot on, he said. For the record, I like that they brought back Sanders for the commercials.
