There’s an ad running on TV here in the UK at the moment. It’s for a drug called Anadin Extra – a painkiller basically.
This really struck me. Here we have a woman with too many responsibilities, trying to literally juggle her tasks and her relationships. She’s not coping. She’s getting headaches. How is she going to get a better life? How is she going to tackle that old life-work balance thing? How can she be happier, healthier?
The drug companies answer?
Take drugs
I think that’s sad – especially when the drug companies themselves even know that most drugs don’t help most people.
What kind of a vision is this for a healthy society?
We’ve got one over here for Head-On. “APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD,” it screams. The ad gives me a headache.
