i find the ad so revolting in so may ways, i switch channels asap.
the #1 way in which i find the ad beyond vile is the inclusion of this 'who does depression hurt?' ditty. since being 'p.c.' has lost all meaning, if it ever had one, and i'm not a p.c. kinda gal, anyway, please excuse (i say snidely) the following:
in the final analysis, i could care less if it hurts my mate, kids, pets, cousin twice removed, or ishcabibble. i am the one it hurts most...and by a VERY long sight. this is no less than emotional blackmail being perpetrated - in a sickeningly manipultive fashion - against the TRUE sufferer. they ought to be shot for this. shame, shame, shame.
the whole ad is sinking to an all-time low, even for the drug companies. it's a more than obvious & desperate plea, (i.e. scam) in their last-gasp effort to increase sales of cymbalta - before the final gavel descends upon them. after the liver warnings they've already received and been made to inform the public about, cymbalta is in imimnent danger of being pulled from the market...any day. they well know this. so, once again, the ad is REALLY & ONLY about all the money THEY will be losing ....soon.
