Can someone please explain to me why someone would miss the fact that Havidol is an obvious satirical drug name? :(

By the look of things, we might have to sell Intelol forte as well!

hmmm actually it's more sad than funny imo. are there so much people who are that desperate/stupid (i don't know wich is worse). it wouldn't surprise me if you could start a profitable business with havidol. good satire though, i'm getting more and more annoyed by the pseudoscience in commercials and the fact that it seems to work (companies wouldn't invest in it if it didn't work wouldn't they?)

Avafynetyme HCI, ahahaha! That's brilliant :)

Would selling it be illegal over there? Frankly, if people are stupid enough to buy a made up drug for a made up illness they deserve to get fleeced.

Finally, a drug for the person who's upset that nobody's paying attention to them! I, personally, wholly endorse this product. It could decimate the troll population overnight! :D

True, true.

Talking about commercials and such - do you remember this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvWoL9-SQi0) they made for a movie?
Well, not too long ago a saw a real commercial for a cosmetics product that sounded almost alike... just a little frightening :(
