advice : MERCK (A BIG PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY) IS HEAVILY ADVERTISING ITS 'PATIENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM' ON TV. PLEASE READ ON ... [+] joke ballot by mojo created Fri Jul 15, 05 Yup, Merck is spending big money to show how generous it is with those who might not be able to afford the high cost of its medications (and advertising). In this TV ad, people are shown in various situations: riding a bus, at a public laundromat, loading firewood into an old pickup truck, and swimming in a large crowded community pool. Message? If you can't afford your own car, washer/dryer, central heating, or (heaven forbid!) a swimming pool, you might just be poor enough to qualify for the Merck patient assistance program. God forbid you should contact them if you're just a middle class working person who can't afford any health insurance. Can we give those good, philanthropic folks at Merck some more ideas for settings that depict poverty for their ads? People sleeping in their cars. Folks in a trailer park, planting veggies. A guy on the street with a begging cup. A bag lady sleeping in a library. A person bleeding profusely outside an ER they've been turned away from. Bum outside of a theater covered in dog feces junkie hookes on Merck's drugs Bleeding two-year-old gunshot vics Granny trying to grow her own meds bein' arrested!
