I could not be happier. I remember, waaaay back in the olden times in 1997 when the ban for advertising pharmaceuticals on TV was lifted and I saw the first drug ad. I think it was for Prozac.

I remember thinking "What.the.actual.fuck?" (I was as eloquent then as I am now.)

It was, and still is, an absolutely horrible idea. It has just made the health system explode with people who are being needlessly medicated, or medicated with the wrong things.

It's so much easier for doctors to just give in to patients who barge in demanding to be prescribed whatever new pill they just saw on TV than to, you know, go to all the hassle in actually diagnosing whatever illness they might have (or even if they have one).

Good riddance to bad rubbish I say, what what.
