A New Epidemic

my psych professor showed us in class a few days ago. I really want to believe that it's real....my roomate never gets out of bed!

'Mowed the lawn, repaired the gutters, and paid the electricity bill....all in One Week!'
I don't think I want to try that stuff.

i honestly have to say that i was about to start looking for this drug, i thought o damn i have this, i would love a simple pill that made me want to do things, then i realized it was fake.... sadly i died a lil on the inside. but a great parody none the less.

urizen123 -- This hoax doesn't ridicule people who have motivational issues - it ridicules turning those issues into a "disease" with a label and then selling a drug for it.

Exactly. I'm doing Pharmacy and this (in its full-length DVD) was actually part of a sociology lecture, where we saw how people simply "made up" diseases, to gain fame (for the researchers) and economic advantage (for the pharmaceutical companies). It's called medicalisation -i.e. turning everyday issues into a "medical" problem.

The Doctors name is a play on the word "Lethargus." Look it up an then maybe the joke an sarcasm will become more evident. Over all a very well played humor sketch.

I noticed that as well. Very funny, and very on-target satire.

LMAO this parody is so funny
by the way, i have Tight Pants Syndrome! xD

lol!
