Wait. It’s about tantrums. Not having tantrums, or having tantrums, or something. Tantrums are bad. Or possibly very good - it’s too early to be sure. ---

What commercial was this and what was the initial form of birth control mentioned? It almost sounds like a “don’t take Yasmin/Yaz brands of oral contraception” commercial, but it’d be pretty rare to actually need potassium monitoring on it due to the effects of the [drospirenone](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drospirenone). (It has nothing to do with STD testing. Also, I take a fair amount of an NSAID, Aleve, and have not required monitoring.) ---

**Alphabits** , I saw the same commercial. Your description is almost as inaccurate as you could make it; I think you’re just projecting your own roiling, seething mass of confused emotions onto it. If I were going to criticize the same commercial, it would be because of the ridiculous convention of presenting a product description and advisory, including side effects, in the form of “dialogue” that doesn’t resemble anything real people ever actually say to one another. ---

**TLDRIDKJKLOLFTW** , I didn’t see any abusive behavior towards the pharmacist. However, that was a very entertaining rant. I think you should send the birth control company an outline of your proposed commercial. I think it would be somewhat memorable. I kind of agree with you about the whopper freakout commercial. I’ve had a whopper, it manages to be more disgusting than a McDonald’s burger, which is pretty fucking nasty. I couldn’t imagine caring either way, that it was discontinued, let alone losing my shit. Are you serious about the dianetics? ---

[QUOTE=TLDRIDKJKLOLFTW] Let me direct part 2: she then goes, along with her friend, to an all-anal gangbang where she’s quadruple-penetrated and shit-bukkaked until she’s numb to the sorrow of existence. She needs a blood test to diagnose the hep-C, HIV, and HPV that she’s contracted over her years of being an entitled, dismissive whore who uses birth control because she thinks it prevents HIV and STD’s (there has to be SOME reason for those INSIPID warnings) and then the Pharmacist turns out to have been directing everything all along, _Eyes Wide Shut_ or Jodorowsky style. PULL BACK THE CAMERA - REALITY IS YOURS NOW. Only he slashes her throat and uses her blood to perform a Lovecraftian midnight mass to raise the ghost of Cappio and Crystal Pepsi.

[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic] Dianetics? Really? [/QUOTE] Normally, I wouldn’t support involvement with Dianetics, but if it really is going to help **TLDR** from dying young from a stroke brought on by apoplectic rage, then I think I’m all for it in this case. I might also recommend TiVo…it seems that it might be a good idea for him to avoid commercials altogether. ---
