- The Zoloft commercials which are so cute. And yes, they really do make you feel like that! Whee! :D

Those Zoloft ads are kinda cool.  Every time I see them I want to go out and get some.  The little "cartoon pill" guys that float around on the ad are neet.  And the sound effects are also cool.  Almost makes depression sound like a fun thing to have.  :P

Well, it's not a fun thing to have, but it can be a fun thing to treat, I suppose. :D Being on Zoloft was fun, then medical problems ensued and my doctor took me off of them just in case. They make you TOO happy though, or at least that's what they did with me! I don't know if I wanna be too happy. I hate people who are too happy. Maybe I should go on Prozac. It apparently has "other" beneficial side-effects. ;)

My Mom uses the One-Touch Ultra unit that B.B. King hawks on TV.  It's the most convenient unit I've used.  (I am not diabetic but I do Mum's testing).   :D

Stuff is expensive though.  A 50-pack of those test strips put me out $44.96 at the local Wal-Mart.

:)I was diagnosed with diabetes in 1997,the first meter I owned was the Accu-Chek Advantage. You could only test on the fingertip with that one! I now use a FreeStyle. :-*

Yes, i've seen that one.  It was played very often in the evenings here in western Canada a couple of months ago.

I think it's weird that we'll give free syringes to druggies but make the diabetics like my brother, pay for them.  Sorta like putting the cigarettes at the front of the drug store (a place that promotes health, now isn't THAT weird?) but we make the sick people walk all the way to the back for their medication.  :P

I gotta cat that's just been diagnosed with diabetes.  And with the explosion in obesity in Canada and the United States.. i'm sure we're going to see it more prevalent in the time to come.  :(  Health Canada is already predicting it to overtake cancer as the #1 killer here.

Actually those K-Y Warming Sensation Personal Lube commercials are running on broadcast TV, not just cable!

They have some old bag saying how hard it is to keep her hubby interested in the horizontal department.  So she announces that she's gonna try the new product which "creates a gentle warming sensation on contact".   The ad then starts playing salsa background music and she and the hubby exchange knowing glances.

I mean, what the heck?  Is she a cold, dead body or something?  And if they sell this stuff on broadcast TV what's next, edible underwear?

This whole product reminds me of the old limerick:  

There once was a caveman named Dave
Who kept a dead 'ho in his cave.
He said with a grunt
"How I hate this cold ****,
But think of the money I save."

I'm also tired of the Viagra commercials with the men jumping up and down to the song "We Are the Champions".  >:(

I've seen most of these commercials on American stations.

Don't forget the Levitra ads (Levitra is a competitor to Viagra).  In the Levitra ads, some geezer walks out to the toolshed and picks up a football.  He tries to throw it through a car tire that's hanging from a tree, but the football just bounces off (i.e., he can't "raise the flag").

Then he takes Levitra and then is throwing that football right through the spare tire like a dozen times.  Even Terry Bradshaw isn't that accurate.  :P

Every time I see those Accu-Check commercials I remember an old Woody Allen movie, and a device in the movie called the AccuJack.  ;D
