LOL! Glad that you are helping me stay on top of important industry news, Adam. My natural solution is to look at the layoffs at my company and others. Today's drug industry = the natural alternative to Despondex!
ReplyDeleteDid anyone else notice that the lead researcher is from Pfizer? I hope their lawyers have a sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteYes, I caught the Pfizer reference.
ReplyDeleteBut where are the rats????
I thought practical jokes were reserved for April 1.
ReplyDeleteI take Despondex and while it works pretty well I do suffer from break through cheerfulness. I've contacted the company and they've assured me that it has been logged as an adverse effect. I wish this made me more happy.
ReplyDelete-A
It's pretty f--king annoying! I love that!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely hysterical. Don’t know if you meant to include the trailing video (from “Sony”), but it is truly brutal. I literally laughed until I cried watching it – the Onion folks are just amazing.
ReplyDeleteAlmost perfect, but they forgot the disclaimers at the end.
ReplyDeleteAn official doctor should say:
Despondex should not be taken by women who are nursing, pregnant,
or may become pregnant, or by people with liver disease.
In rare cases, thoughts of joy and euphoria have been noted.
If you experience thoughts of rapture, stop taking Despondex and contact
your health care provider immediately!
We watched this at a seminar, I about died laughing! I was gonna head on over to the nearest office and consult with my doctor haha!!!
