Hmm, this psoriasis drug seems quite effective! Maybe I should ask my doctor about it!
Warnings at the end of the ad: "do not take if you have, have had, or ever will have the sniffles, as the deaths of yourself and everyone you've ever loved will result"
Nah, I think I'll pass..
Real one:
"If you have mild to moderate rheumatoid arthritis, VIOXX may be able to treat your pain. Ask your doctor about VIOXX, he has all the facts about whether it's right for you."
"Okay so yes, 140,000 people got severe heart disease and a bunch of them died of heart attacks, but in our defense, the only reason we deliberately mislead your doctor about the safety of VIOXX was so we could make a shitload of money".
Gottem lmao
