At the Library.
teenager girl #1: She called my Mom and told her to take me to the Doctor.
teenage girl #2: You know that was going around about you last year, right? That you had AIDS and STD's and Peripheral Artery Disease!
teenage girl #1: And I am not pregnant!
Holy moly. And that, ladies and gentleman, is the problem with prescription medication being advertised on television. I'm not sure if these commercials are purely an American scourge . . . but I fear that gossiping teenagers worldwide could soon be confused if this threat is not contained. I cannot tell you how many commercials for PAD medicines I have seen in the last few weeks, but I'm sure these girls have seen them too . . .
Not to mention how incredibly awkward it is to watch commercials for viagra and the like sitting next to my 88 year old grandfather!
All credit for thinking to post this absurd conversation goes purely to This Post on Overheard in New York featuring the dreamy CNN anchor, Anderson Cooper.
