Television, the Drug of the Nation

Thursday August 24, 2006

They have so many adverts for drugs on U.S. television. Not good for a hypochondriac like me. I am pretty sure I have every disease they mention and I am sure I need all of those drugs.

I heard an advert that said if I hadn’t had an erection in the last 4 hours then I should get some drugs for erectile disfunction, or was it that the drugs might give me an erection for 4 hours and that I should see my doctor? What’s the doctor gonna do, give me a helping hand?

Or maybe it was simply drugs to stop me thinking, for four hours, about all the possible situations that may cause an erection? Or drugs that stop me thinking about the things that might cause me to have an erection lasting four hours? I am really not sure, though that last one can’t be right, there’s no way they could make a drug that strong without it killing me.

What I do know, though, is that since I started taking in these adverts on a daily basis my desire to take a piss every five minutes has vanished despite the huge volumes of coffee I am drinking and I suddenly have the urge to dye my hair jet black and play a round of golf.

Just 7 more days John, 7 more days and you can return to the safety of the UK.

Update

One further thought. Can you fucking imagine having a stonking erection that will not go away and actually going off to see your doctor about it? I am guessing a ride in one of those nice police cars would probably result!
