I love prescription medication ads. Having a virile looking commercial actor or actress (or charming animated character) on my television confide to me that they have health problems (high blood pressure, restless legs, clogged arteries, trouble sleeping) but everything’s under control makes me feel like there’s hope for my shaky, sleepless, geyser veined legs.

Pills are great and so simple to use. Ask your doctor about them. This Last VCR theme is dedicated to prescription medication side effects.

Here’s some side effects to get the brain juices flowing. If the brain juices aren’t flowing, I’m sure there’s something you can take for that.
