From a commercial about some diet pill that lets you eat all you want AND STILL LOSE WEIGHT!

Yep, we all know that everything you see on TV is the absolute truth.

3. Yep...I saw that one also and thought "WTF??". ...and you know that....
...IF there was truly a pill that would "Let you eat all you want", the public would pay 10 bucks a pill and be happy to buy it.

5. Now Vitorin Is Under Investigation...
:rofl:

The other day I saw CNN attempt to spin this latest scandal under the rug with all sorts of disclaimers and caveats...then on came a commercial for Viagra or some other big pharma big money sham. The "concern" of Dr. Gupta brought to you by the same people he so "dilligently" investigates. :puke:

From my experience in advertising, it's amazing the shit you can get away with and do so with a straight face. Commission your own research and be assured you'll find a company that delivers the results you want...or buy an "expert" who will tell everyone how effective spending the big bucks on the designer drug is over the generic...and how you just can't live without it.

Remember...one of the biggest advertising axioms...say it loud enough and long enough and you can get away with anything.
