Joelle and I decided to do a little experiment. A TV watching experiment. Everybody's invited to participate. It'll be easy, trust me.
Here it is:

Here it is:
well, i used to write those ads.
the whole 'ask if x is right for you' without telling you what it's for has to do with fair balance. as soon as you discuss and indication and results, you have to talk about fair balance. fair balance is that "may cause vomiting, priapism, sleepiness, etc."
the ads are getting in a lot of trouble lately because either the agency is money hungry or the client is a dumbass. viagra's ad got pulled because it was promising sex like it was when you were a teen instead of an old far. and that's not the indication. the indication is for getting your dick hard. that's it. it's not to improve sexual performance. and thus, it was pulled and either the agency or the person in charge on the pharm side got his ass canned.
part of me misses those days since the art director and i used to write an 'alternative version' of the ad. one that the public would love to see --you know, using the term assplosions instead of diarrhea.
and jessica, you can walk into a primary care physician's office and get paxil. hell if a GP is going to know what the true symptoms of anxiety is. that was my biggest problem with writing those ads.
ahhh the salad days.
now i'm in corporate america hell deciding whether or not to throw myself off the rotunda at work--just so i can go home.

What? No feminine hygene commercials? I can't believe you left those out of this whole equation.
