  1. Nailed it. Big Pharma controls way more than we know.
    And the fact every doctor I see wants me to take this pill or that pill, dude, how about eating right and eliminating sugar from my diet…oh wait, the sugar industry is in the pockets of big companies.
    Maybe if I ask Joel Osteen into my heart, I’ll be healed and rich!

      1. That’s funny in a sad way. As you know, Joel Olsteen is not someone to invite into your heart. He doesn’t talk about hell because he wants people to feel good about who they are.

  2. I will not be getting a smart TV. I still buy DVDs. Yes, we are having many docos here about your Oxycontin debarcle, that killed so many people and is still spreading over here.
    As per Big Churcha ( parallel with Big Pharma) —wrote this just before you said this on your message— selling false prophesies to great profit ( not prophet) and with major industry on paedophilia and rape of women, to be consistent, not to mention ruining the livelihood of genuine Gospel Music artists. Again, internation docos, now finally much public exposure, and multiple court cases here in Auz. So “Step by Step’, just need to walk that straight line.

  3. Yeah gotta love the info commercials. The old guy playing with his grandkids in the park. Cause he’s taking a pill with some weird Latin name. Then they get to reading the side affects. Shheees. No thank you!!!.
    People like the quick fix, and tend to react to the coined phrases instead of trying to endure.
    Common sense went out the window a long time ago….
    same goes for organized religion. No takers, so gotta sell it as a quick fix..

  4. Agree that it’s sheer lunacy that Big Pharma (BP) can advertise Rx solutions for symptoms that appear to be more desirable than the Rx side effects with a syrupy sweet commercial and a catchy ear worm jingle, showing apparently healthy wealthy and wise persons living their American Dream. (Just remember, they’re all paid professional actors, don’t try this at home folks!)

    Especially when the commercials popularize drug brand names like they’re Badges of Honour” to be worn with pride and a sense of superiority, at the country club and PTA, eh?

    Heh, be the first one on your block to have your kid come home in a box! Since they’ve accidentally OD’d on the handful of mixed Rx meds every one took from the family medicine cabinet to contribute to the Skillets bowl at the high schoolers house party.

    Sorry, wish it wasn’t true, but too many hopeless kids are victims of a culture that promotes a misplaced hope in everything ‘cept the God of John 3:16.

    Give me. Life. Liberty. And the Pursuit of Happiness.

    North of the 49th, Nanny State Comrades at Health Canada (FDA Canadian equivalent) only allow pharmaceutical companies to run “reminder ads”.

    Advertisements can say the name of the drug but they can’t say what conditions it treats. Instead, they urge people to ask their doctors about the drug they saw/heard about in a commercial. (And what’ya wanna bet, Drs collect lucrative Rx kickbacks from BP too eh?). What could possibly go wrong?

    Only in Canada eh? Pity.

  5. Yeah I believe big brother is listening. Just yesterday I was asking my husband about buying new sheets and pillowcases. Next thing I see is a commercial about sheets and pillowcases and in my timeline on Twitter/Xx, the same thing. And all those medications with all their side effects that you can’t pronounce. Good grief! We are just bombarded.

  6. Sometimes I think my tablet or phone can read my mind. I’ll see something on there I was just thinking about and I’m sure I did not look at, search for or say anything about it. It’s weird and I don’t like it.

  7. In Canuckland, the tv & radio stations play “Invokana” commercials which simply have someone singing “I’m more than my condition, Invokana!” to a rockin’ tune. The commercial doesn’t say anything about why anyone would want to take Invokana, because it’s against the law for Big Pharma to advertise Rx drugs. The 30-60 seconds sound bite ends with a voiceover telling viewers/listeners to go to a website so that they can sing along, karaoke-style, with the extended play version. And learn more about why they should ask their Doctor about getting Rx for Invokana!
    I am not making this up.
    Google “Invokana Canada I’m a Rockstar”. Sing along to the ear worm eh?
