commercial is stupid. I know this thread will die quickly, but anyway, why in the heck is GlaxoSmithKline running an ad with a woman pronouncing alzheimers disease "all timers" ????? Damn... people are dumb...

1. I'll tell you which ad of there is stupid
the one about how they have to overcharge us for their drugs because it costs so much money to research new drugs.

Half the time these companies are just giving grants to Colleges & Universities to do all their preliminary research.

I worked for a pharmaceutical industry and I know it costs money for new drugs to be developed, but don't make a freaking TV ad trying to convince folks to feel sorry for them - because we aren't!

2. I totally agree
The customer is always the one that get screwed..... Sad part about it though, is that a lot of people fall for that crap...
