Yeah, this. It would take some balls to take on the master.

I know it's not Weird Al, but when I think of Weird Al songs, Dead Puppies always ends up one of the songs I end up thinking about sooner or later.

Why are most drugs so restricted in their advertising that they can't even suggest what they're for in radio/tv ads (like Contrave, Ozempic, etc) but this "Tresiba" brand gets to be pretty explicit that it's an extended- release insulin? Why? I'm too lazy to look up the rules.

I thought it was a marketing thing. If you state what the drug is for you had to dedicate the same amount of airtime to the side effects as the benefits or something like that.


Does the Tresiba do a liability read in the commercial?

For me its the gambling ads. At least drugs can help people, depending on the drug. Gambling is an evil vice and blight on society.

What if we gambled with drugs? Put 10 hydromorphones on the Flames, and if you win you get 20, if you lose, you have to take them all at once. Bet carefully.

In Canada, they can either advertise the name of the drug and not discuss what it does (which is usually the case) or talk about a disease or condition but not mention a drug for that disease (more rare form of advertising.)

Instacart is unreal. How did I not know about this. Hate going to Walmart but love the prices. Shows up at your door sooner than going yourself.

I hope Mike Tyson literally murders Jake Paul. I'll settle for major head trauma but only if it's permanent.

What’s going on with Kate Middleton? Is she in a coma or what? That whole scandal with the doctored photo is pretty messed up and she hasn’t been seen in months.

Huh. I never heard of said scandal and never noticed she was missing.

I always find this British love/hate of the Monarchs to be both cute and interesting.

Lots of Nations still have a figurehead-Monarchy but only the Brits seem to really go all-out.

Thats the part I dont understand. Sure. Shout out to your history, but dont let it influence your future. Does any other Nation care as much about their Royals as England? I dont think so.

I'm okay with it, I'm pretty ambivalent. But I remember once being asked by one of my British clients what I'd do if I met the Queen (at the time) and I just said:

"I'd say; Hey Lizzy, whats happening?"

And they were aghast. But I'm sorry. Sure, I'm Canadian, but I'm no one's 'subject.'

You want to roll around in a Crown, thats your business, so did 'The Wiz.' I don't care if you're the Grand Poobah of the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes. To me you're just an Elderly Woman in a fancy hat.

I mean...I'm sure its a very nice hat.
