Free market arguments aside, I don't particularly care for the
ever-increasing presence of ads for prescription drugs. "Ask your doctor
about ZibFlib--we won't tell you what it does, but ask your doctor about it

hand opening to reveal a tiny pill in its palm, as if it's the Hand of God
dispensing ZibFlib, or whatever.
