I am sitting here in the Delta SkyClub at Newark watching the sun rise and it looks pretty awesome as the Aircraft Rotate right in front of me and thinking to the wierdest experience I have had lately.  This morning while on the treadmill at the gym of the Hotel it was the usual mix of middle of the night/way to early sunday morning tv mix.  TV sales, informercials and drug commericals.

The funny thing with Drug commercials in the USA is that they have to list all drug side effects in the ad so that people are informed I guess.  Why they have to do it, I don’t know but either way it is hilarious.  You have this ad where they talk about how good the product is and how amazing everything should be once you start taking it. Then all of a sudden right before the end.  “Side effects include” and then they start rattling off everything that could go wrong.

This is a bit wierd and I am sure there is some law that requires it but when the first side effect they listed (at least for the one I was watching) is “May cause Suicidal Tendencies” I don’t know about you but there is no way I am going to take that drug!  No matter what or how good it is, if the drug is gonna cause me to want to kill myself, I can do that without the drug thanks (not that I want to, life over here is to good).  There is always the usual ones you hear like “accidental death etc” but still, that is weird and creepy.

Something to ponder on this Sunday morning!
