I almost never get an opportunity to post this piece on prescription side effects by Steve Martin, yes, THAT Steve martin, who I met in Kansas City at The Vanguard sometime back in the early 1970s, and who, if you ask him, will say, "Who?" Anyway . . .
A friend visiting from England once asked me, "Why does it seem like everyone on American TV is always yelling at each other?" The ads are always louder and he was right there are a lot of them that include someone screaming at the audience. If I wanted to hear idiots screaming at me, I'd watch Fox News.

A shout-out to the comic strip "Next Door Neighbors" which regularly makes fun of those prescription drugs TV ads. A sample.
