A one-month prescription will cost $1200. Ask your doctor if Placebin is right for you. Side effects may include suicidal thoughts or actions and death by boredom.

11. Yes, I got cable recently, and I've been watching it.

I see the drug commercials, and they are like a parody of themselves. I know a lot of it is legally required, which is not entirely a bad thing, and if you are going OTC the rules are more lax; but it is still such bullshit, and the larger point is that the you CANNOT trust the motherfuckers. It's like they just don't understand that integrity comes first, and our health care system deeply lacks integrity.
