Dubious Commercial Logic
by Bryan
Let me paraphrase a commercial I just saw:
“Do you feel sad? Do you feel like there’s nothing you and do about it? You may suffer from depression. And it’s a myth that depression cannot be treated.”
Who said depression could not be treated? Anyone who owns a television — that is, the precise, huge demographic being targeted by the makers of whatever pill this is — is more or less constantly being told that their depression could be cured/treated/scared away by drugs.
I can’t tell if my increased gambling is causing me to have restless legs or if I have some sort of “Restless Leg Syndrome” that may cause me to gamble…
