Where Does it Hurt?

This question has been haunting me for the past week or so...Why? Because it seems as if my whole career is riding on whether my my answer isn't "creative enough" or not. I could miss out on getting in to the Creative Advertising program, which has been a dream and a goal for about a year now.

First off, what an open ended question...It's vague enough to cause my brain to go numb just thinking about it. But that's the art of it, because your mind is able to go just about anywhere with this question, and just about nowhere at the same time. Every time I ponder about the question, the only thing that keeps coming to mind is the idea of Generation Rx. We live in a generation where pills are digested more than vegetables for some, which is wild to even think about. Back in the day, I feel as if people just rolled with the punches when it came to sickness and pain. Call me old fashioned, but sleep is the best medicine...I'll take a bottle of slumber, than a bottle of Hydrocodone any day!

There are pills for everything, and I mean everything. You got a problem? Then there's a pill out there for you...you name it, "we got it." I feel as if our society can't live without pills, but we have survived for so long without them. I'm not promoting any sort of anti-prescription pills, I'm just trying to raise more awareness of the fact that these drug companies need to be regulated more. I mean there's no way some of these pills are healthy, look at the side effects: enlarged breasts for men? AMNESIA? DEATH?!?! Decrease in testicle size??? Cancer? WHAT...In...The World! I mean none of that even sounds remotely cool.

Regulation is a hard a pill to digest (see what I did there...very corny) for these drug companies, because of the money, but it needs to happen!
