My favorite of the prescription drug ads was for Xenical. The ads didn't run a long time and what I liked especially was, during the side effects voiceover, the phrase, "Xenical is a controlled substance," which means it's addictive. So while law enforcement was trying to save people from marijuana, a nonaddictive substance, there were commercials on TV encouraging people to ask their doctors for Xenical which is an addictive substance. -- TV or Not TV ....
