March Madness is truly upon us!
You have to love this month even if you don't typically watch college basketball. The NCAA tournament is just that fun whether you're making a bracket in the hopes of winning money, or just like some exciting basketball action that the NBA can't even seem to provide these days. Go Oakland Grizzlies!

I have seen the worst product ever.
I saw this commercial for a product called Wellbutrin XL. The commercial basically says that it can treat depression with no sexual side effects. Then the commercial goes onto warn that it may cause seizures. It then continues to mention again that there are no sexual side effects. They also warn about not taking it if you have kidney or liver problems. The final warning was also kind of disturbing. The warning stated that if the person taking the drug is depressed or has thoughts of suicide call a doctor. They had to mention the fact that there were no sexual side effects again, for what had to be the third time at least.
Let me dissect the problems with this commercial. First, this product could cause seizures but has no sexual side effects. Wow as long as I can have sex I won't worry about the seizures I'm having while doing it. What the hell are the people that crafted this drug smoking?
The next warning is about not taking this drug if you have kidney problems or liver problems, which is always a warning that they slap on all these drugs.
The final warning about getting depressed and thinking about suicide is a glaring problem for what is billed to be an antidepressant. I don't know about you, but if a potential side effect for an antidepressant is depression than what the hell good is the drug. That would be much like buying shampoo that makes your hair dirty.
Remember one thing though there are no sexual side effects. So, you can be depressed thinking about suicide then bust into a seizure, but you can still have normal sex.
