If you die, it’s not good for you

How about drugs commercials? Happiness is in slow motion: If you move at n o r m a l speed, it means that you’re not happy.

Here is a typical TV add: Beautiful smiling woman with flowing long hair jogs slowly (slow motion) in the park, on a sunny day, followed by a perfectly behaving dog.

We know that she suffers from severe depression, is unemployed, her husband left her, she’s foreclosing on her home and her kids divorced her. Soothing voice off camera tells us that “Trimbalta”,an anti-depressant, will help her if she doesn’t get dehydration, diarrhea, cancer, ulcers or if she doesn't commit suicide.

Now, seriously, come on… Does happiness come in a pill?.
