I saw a commercial for a new drug last night with Patrick Stewart doing the voice over work.
I get the feeling it’s a new fatique drug, but I can’t remember the name of the drug. The commercial never says what it does or what it’s for.
The drug starts with a ‘C’.
Little help?
Cialis?
“Make it so, baby.”
It’s Crestor, from Astra-Zeneca.
And no, I don’t know “if it’s right for you.” I don’t know what the drug is for.
I don’t know what the drug does, but if Captain Picard endorses it, I want it!
What if it was Professor Xavier!?
In that case, screw it. I’m not into little kiddie crap like comic books.
It’s for high cholesterol.
Why don’t they just say so in the commercial?
Argh.
If they say what it’s for, they also have to disclose its major side effects. So you often see two types of drug ads:
[ul]
[li]The “Ask your doctor if Norvoxanophamish is right for you!” type, in which no mention is made of the drug’s intended use(s)—usually involving images of happy folks frolicking on the beach or hiking the backcountry or slinging grandchildren around[/li][li]The full-information commercial, with a brief description of the drug’s purpose followed by a usually watered-down litany of the major side effects[/li][/ul]
Which often include the symptom the drug is for in the first place. 
Other possible side effects:
Teleportation
Telekenetics
Fire control
Regeneration and healing
Mind control
Long distance viewing
Ice control
Manipulation of magnetic molecules
(Let’s see what else we can think up!)
