Acting Funny? Take a Pill!

This is from a great book called Blaming The Brain This page shows how bigPharm markets the same pill, sometimes under different names, as a treatment for a variety of "mental illnesses" including depression and... smoking. (I shit you not.) It also shows the proof that these "illnesses" are chemical based, is actually, not proof, but a money saving move by the drug companies.

Tough choice for Americans Dept

So, being an American or mud-wrestling with an alligator in the Louisiana swamps. Which makes you feel dirtier?

Running Drugs in School

Ok, there's some controversy over drugs in schools. The psycho active ones are now getting students thrown in jail!!! In fact, jail has become the new "principle's office." 

Then there are the drugs forced on kids... or at least used to be. Ritalin for the school clown (lucky I went to school before that!), vaccines to "protect" from disease. (Ask my sister's friend whose child was paralyzed by a school vaccine.)

Now comes a report of yet another drug given out in schools. This time, maybe it's not so bad.

Book Banning Season? Ho ho ho!!

A children's book about marijuana that's reasonable, non-hysterical, and doesn't offer GOD as a solution? I can't imagine THAT one getting very far in Christian America!

Pssst, here's fifty bucks, gimmie your kid for awhile....

It should be incredible that this is legal, but this being America, as long as it's not sex it's legal.

This is an actual letter from a drug company offering to pay $50 a visit to test drugs on kids as young as SEVEN YEARS OLD!!! You can bet your prozac that the responders to this one aren't gonna be Romney-rich! (Click on the image if you can't see the whole thing.)

Just when I think corporate American can't get any more disgusting... I'm wrong!

The Junkie Hex

I think this was from the Realist Magazine. It was from a time of NYC junkie break ins. Everyone had a super lock to keep 'em out. This was a more traditional method... used against witches in earlier times.  

This one isn't funny: Drug Companies buy Reviews

This is from LIFE EXTENTION magazine. It reports on the drug company WYETH, and how it paid doctors to write "papers" on their drugs... with no research, sometimes just adding their name, without writing anything!

If you want to see a more easily readable version of this, I've posted one here.

Fad Diets to Beat a Bust

I think someone sent this to me. I wish I could give proper credit. 

In the BBQ window...

This was a sign in the window of Dallas Barbecue. It looked pretty permanent, but what does it mean?

1. People not in the pharmaceutical industry cannot place catering orders?

2. People in the pharmaceutical industry are especially welcome, because we enjoy using your products?

3. People in the pharmaceutical industry are especially welcome, because the animals we kill and barbecue are full of your products?

4. People in the pharmaceutical industry were formerly not welcome, but we've changed our policy?

Any other ideas?
