THE BEST LAID PLANS OF MICE AND MEN...

There's the commercial on the television for CRESTOR...One of the whole onslaught of commercials brainwashing people into thinking that health is something that comes in a bottle...not something that is as simple as taking the stairs instead of the elevator..(there is a guy in my building who rides up one floor in the elevator...he WAITS for it, even if it takes a minute or two...)..
Anyway the commercial goes like this:

(Man and wife...affectionately clinging to each other....)

Woman: While we were building a life together...
Man (interupts): Something was building in my arteries...

WHAT?!

This is such a stretch I am speechless....I laughed out loud I couldn't believe this...I want to meet the person who wrote this...I can only imagine the brain-storming session involved in birthing this gem....

Yet it'd be implacably brilliant if it were revised a bit to become a Viagra commercial, or even about marital infidelity. Or both.
