The video below is a lively parody of the sad case of American prescription drug dependence. The last full minute of the commercial is a hilarious running disclaimer. The second video represents the true nature of psychiatric drugs. The third one is a terrific spoof that reflects the reality of the pharmaceutical drugging of America for each and every hypothetical disease, disorder, or conundrum. The final video is essentially a mocking of Nexium, the “purple pill.”
All of this reminds me of a ten-year-old homeschooled child that I know. She mimics, to perfection, the side effects/warnings/disclaimers at the end of pharmaceutical commercials. She does it in speed talk, with hushed tones, exactly like the commercials, yet with a hint of exaggeration. Yes, a ten-year-old (homeschooled) child picked up, on her own, the inanity of Big Pharma drug pushing, something that is beyond the capability of the majority of American adults. Perhaps she realized that this is actually true.
