YouTube and drugs

For some reason, I have only recently ventured into the procrastination heaven that is YouTube. By following various links on Facebook, I have stumbled across some of the most hilariously ridiculous filmed nonsense ever. Awesome. My faves thus far (click at your own risk - embarassingly addictive):

Shoes
Charlie the Unicorn
"My Humps" by Alanis Morissette

In other news, I'm currently reading "Hard Sell" by Jamie Reidy. It came out a couple of years ago and I think I heard of it back then, but was spurred to pick it up based on a New York Times article from a few weeks ago about doctors who are willing to sacrifice credibility as unbiased scientists in order to fatten their wallets. Reidy is a former top sales rep for Pfizer who lost his job after his book was published because it revealed the inner workings of the pharmaceutical industry. And, well, anything that gets someone fired/exiled/assassinated immediately piques my interest (e.g., Salman Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses"). Anyway, Reidy's book is especially intriguing because he began working for Pfizer just prior to the company's introduction of Viagra to the market, which needless to say, rocked everyone's world *wink wink nudge nudge*. I can't put it down. I highly recommend it to anyone who has ever been prescribed a medication and anyone who writes/will write prescriptions. Which should safely include all of you. Unless you've never even had so much as an ear infection and/or hospitals gross you out. Read it anyway.
