Additional Comments: What was with this over-the-top praises about Mydol? This was like a commercial. TV has plenty of ads, and I hate product placement in shows and movies. Anybody agree?

How many times have you been out with friends, and one had a headache, or cramps, and you have pulled out a bottle of whatever, and told them how much it has helped you?  I sure have, so why not look at it like it was, three friends, out together, and giving one of them advice to make the other one feel better........Here, try this, it has always worked for me.  I thought the bit of normalcy was quite nice here, made it more like real life.

  • Well actuall, I've never seen it happen and I'm 69 years old..
  • Yes, things like this do happen, but they normally don't come across as a TV commercial. Morgan acted like she'd never heard of pain medication before. It shouldn't be difficult for writers to find ways to insert products into shows that don't make them seem like paid advertisements; we do use brand name products every day, after all. EOM

     No kidding! I was just going to post the same thing! It was put in there for no reason and seemed so forced. I think it was just ridiculous!
