    So, all these pharmaceutical ads, do they just play on prime-time TV in the US?

    Sounds like a good way to create a nation of hypochondriacs. #madmen

    "Hey dad! Do you know why I don't have health insurance?"

    "Because you're unemployed?"

    "No, silly - 'Cuz drug manufacturers are paying billions to advertisers to make sure you hound your physician to prescribe their medication before it goes generic!" #madmen

    I don't think anyone actually says "Talk to your doctor about Plavix today, Dad!" You might say "You know, maybe you should be on something for that. Plavix or something. I dunno, I'm not a doctor."

    But I've also never seen ladies in swimsuits doing synchronized water routines to extol the virtues of NuvaRing, so maybe I hang out with the wrong crowd. #madmen

    @lalaland13: Yeah, my experience talking to my girlfriends about NuvaRing was one of them saying that she has sex immediately after putting it in, just to make sure it's jammed up in there tight! #madmen

    @jenilane: My last birth control conversation (about Seasonale) with a friend went like this:

    "So do you have awful cramps on that stuff?"

    "Yes! And I act like a crazy bitch every three months. But, I can have sex more often and I save money on tampons!"

    That'll never be in a commercial. #madmen

    First, it was the kid talking to his dad about Cheerios lowering cholesterol, then it was the lady at the club with friends talking about Yaz, and now this girl! What is it about today's young doctors and why do they fervently endorse such specific products?

    I blame the internet. #madmen

    Is YOUR daughter a pharmaceutical representative? Is she persistently trying to push you on new drugs with out a generic? Is she constantly surrounded by pens, pads of paper, and stress-balls bearing the names of various medications? Look for these warning signs and more, news at a 11! #madmen

    I knew I recognized her!

    But man, when I ask my dad to do something for his health, he tells me that I am MOCKING HIS DISABILITY. and then doesn't talk to me for like 2 days.
    Maybe if I show him something on the internet he will believe me. #madmen

    I don't need better legs or a better butt, they both work just fine. But thanks for the concern, Reebok. #reebokeasytonecommercial

    Somewhat related; I have to wonder what the "special construction" that tones your butt does for other parts of your body, namely your back and feet. #reebokeasytonecommercial

    @bluebears: It's amazing to me how runners can be so polarized on an issue, from barefoot running to running skirts. As a longtime runner, I'm pretty cool with people doing whatever works best for them, but I'm not going to pretend I don't peruse running forums for the entertainment.

    As far as this commercial, well, I've never loved my Mizunos or Izumis more.

    @Zombie Ms. Skittles: Seriously, it's fun. Do it. #reebokeasytonecommercial

    In the defense of the director, I'd probably want to show as little of those fug shoes as possible, too, but jeez, show more pseudo-science graphs instead.

    I saw this commercial the other day, and I couldn't believe it! I was watching it with my boyfriend, and said "wow! I can't believe they made this commercial. this is really gross!"

    Sadly, the boy didn't really understand why I would find this offensive until I explained it. facepalm. #reebokeasytonecommercial

    @That_little_attention_whore: I saw it with my boyfriend this weekend, too. He asked "Who OK'd this at Reebok?" and I asked "And who is their target demographic?" I think it's too sexxxy for me to take it seriously (the actual product aside) and it's obviously a women's shoe, so what good does it do to turn on the men watching? "Here honey, Happy Anniversary!" Sick. #reebokeasytonecommercial

    @That_little_attention_whore: I love the tagline: "Your Move."

    As if to say... "What? What are you going to do about it? I defy you to come up with a rebuttal. Quit. Buy the shoes. Put highlights in your hair and wear spandex to the grocery store." #reebokeasytonecommercial
