Do you have Restless Leg Syndrome?
How about insomnia?
Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
Depression?
Come on. You've got to have something wrong with you. Most of us come away from watching drug ads -- about 16 hours a year -- thinking just that. We then go running to our doctors asking for the magic pill, nasal spray or shot.
Although most ads made some factual claims, a study indicates that 95 percent of them made emotional appeals, showing "characters that have lost control over their social, emotional or physical lives without the medication."
Say "No" to drugs...
but not ours, the other guy's.
