Gimme a D, R, U, G, S!

According to the NYTimes, the latest attempt for pharmaceutical companies to pimp their drugs is to use cheerleaders.

*gets out checklist of Things I Get Annoyed At In Modern America*
Blantently using women's sex appeal to sell unnessecary products? Check.
Rampant consumerism? Check.
Pimping of drugs, most of which are probably not really necessary? Check.
Potential favoritism of skinny blonde white girls over all others? Check.

Soon, I bet anything we'll have the Laker Girls or whoever pimping Viagra on TV, direct to the consumer. Then, Adderall will hire some professional sl-uh, cheerleaders to pimp their product to prepubescent six-year-olds.

Have I ever mentioned that I despise so much about pharmaceutical companies' tactics?
