thewayneBIG article. Shows how much drug companies spend on adverts, and the interesting techniques they use to skew trial comparisons against competitors.
The sad thing is that they're spending millions (and making ten times the amount) on drugs for non-fatal illnesses (such as toe fungus) when that drug will kill a certain number of people. The worse thing is accusations that the drug companies are focusing on these money-makers and not researching and making drugs that will fight bad illnesses and diseases.
