i'll take two of... whatever it is

Between 101 and the South San Francisco CalTrain stop, you can see a billboard that reads,


SANCTURA

trospium chloride tablets

Coming Soon!           


So... what the fuck? Is this the future of drug ads? Tantalize consumers with the promise of a pill that will become available eventually that will treat an unspecified malady? "Say, doc, i saw this billboard, and you'll let me know when it comes out, right? `Cause i gotta have it!"

i'm 100% in agreement about prescription drug marketing. i think it does more harm than good, and it's all about the greed of pharmaceutical companies.

Are we allowed to communicate now?

i would prefer not to. nevertheless, i felt it reasonable to acknowledge that we agree on something.
