So I'm in a not so good mood, so what follows will be a series of rants about whatever I deem to be a good topic in which to vent my frustration, the first topic being lazy people.
I had just returned home from work when I see a commercial advertising a perscription drug. Now, normally I don't see a problem with people medicating themselves, in fact I rather enjoy the benefits of some good, strong perscription drugs, but this one was just rediculous. It was for something called "restless leg syndrome". The commercial is completely serious, it wasnt a skit on Saturday Night Live or MAD TV making fun of lazy people, it was actually a drug designed for people inflicted with the unfortunate condition of, as the commercial put it, "having the urge to move." Now, here's a thought, it might be crazy, but I'm just gonns throw it out there, instead of popping pills that most likely have side effects ranging from dizzyness to blood clots to death, why not, when you get that strange tingly feeling in your legs after the 14th hour of a World of Warcraft marathon, you dust the pringles crumbs off your fat rolls and lift your fat ass off your lazy boy. Is this seriously what our culture has come to? People actually medicate themselves so when their most basic instinct is telling them to MOVE, they can sit intheir ass grove in the couch for a few more days? There's a REASON you get that strange tingly feeling in your legs; it's because people weren't MEANT to spend the majority of their day fused to the duct tape they've repaired their couch with in a dark room that they haven't left since Survivor first aired. Fuck maybe this pill isnt such a bad idea, maybe it'll give all the usless lazy fatties blood clots and cause them all the die of heart attacks or anneurisms.
