Good marketing for the 10% of the population that they're trying to impress.

Shitty for the rest of us who have to put up with it in our inboxes.

Drug companies should market their drugs to people who need them, ffs. It's shitty that it's even allowed. Honestly, the fact that this kind of bullshit works is enough to make me ashamed to be a member of the human race. It's so pathetic that it's rediculous. I think society would benefit if drug companies, like cigarette companies, were given a bit of censorship.

Yea. I hate corporations. In Elyot's dream world, they'd have a lot less power than they do.

Ahh yes, forgot to mention.

All drug patents should be repealed so cheap generics of every drug are readily available. Birth control should be paid for by the gov't to reduce the number of human babies.

Hey man, I agree with you. But the fact that they're able to manipulate so many people into thinking that they *need* all these different antibiotics/drugs/whatever is incredible, in a way.

have you seen the corporation?

Of course. I have the book as well. Interesting stuff. I think they've got it a lot worse in the US though.

How so?

In terms of what they consume?

I think there's a lot more corruption going on between lobbyists and government in the US. Shit like Enron... that just doesn't happen in Canada...


















... or well... if it does, it's the fault of the government; not the corporations!

Or they're just a lot better in getting away with it up here.

What an A+ post.

On topic: I'm not the least bit surprised, but these news also don't mean that we should all buy into these "natural" or "herbal" remedies that the other side is trying to push instead of medications. There's still a lot of reasearch and progress being done. It's really just capitalism for you.

no, it means we should think twice before going to the doctor to get something prescribed for a damn cough or runny nose. Feeling a little under the weather? REST.

most people do, others just call it a conspiracy theory and stigmatize those who believe in these theories, as being crazy....
