I have just watched a grotesque TV advert in the UK of a guy on TV pulling a rat out of his mouth followed by the warning:
"Rat poison is just one of the many ingredients that may be found in fakes medicines purchased from illegal websites"
The ad is sponsored by Pfizer and is a clear and blatant indication of the drug companies trying to protect their profits and more.
Personally I don't think they should get away with this kind of propoganda. Do you?

I think it was a BIG mistake allowing drug companies to advertize their products on TV. Now, a HUGE part of their budgets goes toward television
advertizing. You know we are paying for it every time we have to buy a prescription.
I find the overt propaganda especially troubling, especially the way they manufactured the fear of HPV in order to scare women into buying their
Gardicil vaccine. Talk about truely Orwellian advertizing.
This Crap has got to stop!

Yes, its quite a disturbing advert which uses 'fear and revulsion' to maximize profit margins - don't know if you've watched this excellent (award
winning) documentary before but it makes some very revealing comments about Pfizer.
