Those Meddling Kids!

This is a tragic tale with all the usual elements required to make it the lead story on the local news - a car crash, injured children, and lawsuits.  But - spoiler alert! - there's a surprise twist waiting for you in a few paragraphs...

Yes, Virginia, it Can Always Get Worse!

Our regular reader (hi, honey!) will remember how last year, we disparaged certain pharmaceutical companies for their heartless, tone-deaf communication style.  We depicted their marketing guys announcing that they were denying lifesaving treatments for financial reasons while dancing atop a pile of yachts, in point of fact.

Well, it seems almost as though they read Why We're Doomed, and have taken our words to heart.  Their corporate communications have shown a remarkable transformation since then!

Whereas once they barely disguised their tactics of putting profits ahead of their customers' lives, those days are now behind us.  Today they don't bother to disguise them at all.
