Every other commercial on TV and full page and a half in USA Today...

And that's the VISIBLE promotion

Pfizer in particular know the end of the gravy-train is near so is indulging in aggressive methods to squeeze the last bucks out of a floundering market. It's noticeable that pharma shills are quick on the trigger when commenting on press stories that could adversely affect perceptions (e.g. those in the Wall Street Journal).

Brian, in a single hour of American primetime television you can expect to see a handful of pharmaceutical commercials. Just glad I barely watch television. I've noticed an especially high quotient catering to housewives during the afternoon soaps.

Oh, I keep trying to counter those statin/big pharma shills, but they're akin to lemmings. Just remember, where there's light there is heat.

Treat 'em like a cruel little boy treats ants with his magnifying glass on a sunny day!
