Aciphex – “Take ass-effects for your digestion problems!”
I love it!
I heard this commercial a few months ago while I was in a different room from the television. My immediate response was “No one said this one aloud before committing themselves to it on paper? Really?!”
*facepalm*
Seriously? This can’t be for real…I haven’t watched TV in ages….Seriously???
I take this medicine and cringe every time I go to the pharmacy to pick it up. When my doctor first told me she was going to prescribe it for me, I’m sure I made a weird face after she said the name. She just laughed and said, “I know, I know!”
I took this for a month, but my insurance wouldn’t cover it. Thank God!
Haven’t seen the commercial yet, though.
I just went to their web site. One of the symptoms it describes is “Bad Taste in your Throat”. Um…. yeah.
Just in case anybody wants to know what the aciphex are I’ll save you the time of looking them up.

I like the sudden death one best. It’s less embarrassing.
this joke really doesn’t work if you don’t have an american accent
I’ll have you know that we Americans don’t have accents. Its everyone ELSE on the planet that has an accent.
By the way, y’all keep pronouncing nucular wrong.
It’s like a SNL sketch gone… I don’t know, would that be right or wrong?!?
I think you should be on the UPS Whiteboard commercials. They would be much beter with these types of illustrations!
