Ads of the day: Buy Heroin!





Reading about the news today that battle lines are being drawn in the health care debate (AMA: "People who want a public plan can eat a bag of hell", Experts: "Go intercourse yourself AMA!", AMA: "You know, on second thought...") I happened to stumble across the good people at Pill Talk, who put together a nice little collection of old pharmaceutical ads. Heroin! Chlorophyll! Cocaine! Cigarettes! Snake Oil!

Oh for the days when Big Pharma would totally try to get you gooned up on highly addictive opiates through a series of lies, half-truths, and fear mongering about imaginary diseases that they made up. So glad they aren't allowed to do that anymore.
