Do not TAUNT people with liver disease…

Published by JustLinda under LINdiscriminate Drivel

I really feel sorry for those poor people with liver disease.

Whenever I see all those potent new drugs advertised on TV, the disclaimers always say not safe for use by those with liver disease. Liver disease people miss out on everything. Why can’t they come up with something that the liver disease people can partake in, too? It’s just NO FAIR!!!

Of course, on the other hand, I feel for those who CAN take these new drugs because evidently every one of them cause diarrhea. You’d think companies so smart as these could figure out how to create a drug that doesn’t cause diarrhea. I’m starting to think they’re doing it on purpose. I bet the toilet paper companies are paying them off under the table.

These drug commercials drive me nuts.  The whole bunch of them remind me of my very most favorite Saturday Night Live routine ever. It was one of those fake commercials for a toy called Happy Fun Ball. The whole thing was basically a huge disclaimer. My favorite line is ‘Do not taunt happy fun ball.’ My husband and I use that line on the 9 year old when she’s acting especially volatile.  She also has a liquid core which should not be touched, inhaled, or looked at when exposed.

Happy FUN BALL!
