#1 IMHO lawyer ads saying "you may be entitled to compensation..." are as bad, or worse. They're all frickin' leeches ambulance chasers who end up with most of any money awarded.

#2 I agree. Local Atlanta television is replete with lawyer ads, most involving just what you have mentioned PBMcL.

#3 What I love about the ads for these medicines - '..may cause drowsiness, scabies, flatulence, drowsiness, ingrown toenails, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, and death.'

#4  '..may cause drowsiness, scabies, flatulence, drowsiness, ingrown toenails, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, and death.'

Followed immediately by the lawyer ad starting "If you or a loved one has suffered death....call this number".

#5 The rest of staff on TV is OK?

#7 This doctor recommends "Chiroplastin", which contains double the inactive ingredients in any other placebo. Give one to a man, two to a horse. In the big red gluten-free capsule, so you know it works!

#8 IMHO... if a drug causes more side effects than what it cures, you probably shouldn't take it.

#9 The one that caught my attention was the one that had as a known side effect 'ruptured spleen'.
Does the Pharmacist beat you with a baseball bat when you order it?

#10 The one that caught my attention was one for depression with a side effect of possible suicidal feelings. Whoops.

#11 I am intrigued by the "spontaneous combustion" warnings. I think I've found the new roofie for the coming ice age
