[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 155143"] Janet, you make a good point about the drug ads giving some attention to a specific illness/disease/ailment. However, that is really not the intention of the drug manufacturers. Their intention is profit. The down side to this is that these illnesses/diseases/ailments become over- and incorrectly diagnosis'd and the drug companies rake in huge profits - which, of course, increases insurance rates. Once a generic for the drug is available, these ads go away and you don't hear so much about these issues anymore. Here's an example: [URL]http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24603237/[/URL] I'd much rather educate via public service bullentins, public health ad campaigns, etc than through a drug ad that is biased. And, by the way, if I never hear another commercial for ED it will be fine with me. Especially when they show the couple being all romantic then the kids show up at the door. I never just drop in on my parents, but now I CAN'T. I can't get that image outta my head. [/QUOTE]
