muck_a_luckSo I'm listening to Marketplace last night.
Apparently, pharmaceutical companies are having a new problem. They want to advertise new medications on the Interent, but they are having trouble presenting the necessary legal notices about side effects in the Internet milieu.
The drug company rep says, "We can't just ignore Twitter."
What the fuck, drug companies. Drugs are not an impulse buy. You cannot make an educated decision about a drug in 140 characters. Doctors cannot make an educated decision about a drug for a patient in 140 characters.
Of course you can fucking ignore fucking Twitter. You are not a 14-year-old girl.
And if you cannot responsibly ignort Twitter on your own, Twitter's owners should ban you from their service, because probably nobody on Twitter wants you fucking Tweet spam anyway.
And if the service owners can't or won't ban you, then your regulatory bodies should.
OMG. Sitting around Tweeting: Oh, think what fun it would be to be syphylis-free, pls use Nosyph.
Fuck you drug companies.
Hmmm.
I wonder if I'm about to have a pissy day? Woke up with massive sinus headache and when I sat down at the computer this irritation had to be written down. Maybe a good day to enter timeslips and not answer the phone...
