> One commercial I've seen lately is for some new weight-loss drug or other; I forget the name. But over the course of the commercial, a man's voice in the background is giving a long list of all the health warnings that the manufacturers are required to report: not for pregnant women, may cause emotional swings, must get a doctor's prescription, users may become dependant, causes cancer in lab rats (okay, maybe not this last one), etc. By the time the commercial's over, I've firmly decided that if anyone EVER were to offer me this weight-loss product, I would strike them in the jaw and flee on foot at top speed.

Heh heh, there was actually a funny Dave Barry column not too long ago about that. Quite frankly those drug commercials scare me. There's one for some hair growth pill that says something like "Pregnant women should not take or handle broken pills due to risk of a certain kind of birth defect." What kind of pill works through the skin (unless they're afraid they wont wash their hands and get it in their mouth)? _THAT'S_ scary. Sounds more like some sort of super-virus to me...
