I was just about to check my emails a few minutes ago. Usually, I don't even notice the banner ads along the top of the page... I purposely block them out because I can't stand being constantly inundated with marketing messages.
This time I noticed. The ad says:
"Try a prescription sleep aid to see why it's different from the rest. Click here for a FREE 7 day trial."
(pardon me... I just threw up!)
How can drugs just be given away on the internet? Especially prescription strength drugs... these are more "potent" (ie. dangerous).
Last I heard about several of these sleep drugs, they were causing all sorts of completely abnormal and scary side-effects in people... seriously strange stuff. If we're going to experiment with sleep aid drugs, shouldn't we at least do so under the supervision of a licensed doctor? (Not that that makes the drugs any safer...)
Better yet, why don't we just figure out why we're having troubles sleeping in the first place?!! Oh, that's too far-fetched, I know!
On the street, drug dealers know that if they can get us to try their drug JUST ONCE, we'll be hooked.
Apparently, drug pushing is absolutely legal on the world wide web! God help us all!
If I were a street drug pusher, I'd seriously consider getting into online marketing, just like the 'legal' drug pushers have. I'm sure they could reach more people and increase their revenue substantially.
