We Covet's The Cure Is Worse Than The Disease Award

You've seen those commercials for Ambien, right? The ones where they warn of possible side effects that include, and I quote: "sleepwalking and eating or driving while not fully awake with amnesia for the event"? If you haven't, go here and watch the video. I'll wait.

You back? Ok!

Yeah, so in light of all that I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that those of you suffering from insomnia get a friend to just hit you over the head with a hammer at bedtime (a hammer wrapped in a towel, people. Safety first!). Because seriously, the whole pounding-your-skull-with-a-hammer thing might in fact be a more reasonable course of action than taking Ambien.

Stupid drug companies.

Anyhoo, in honor of Ambien's towering achievement in pharmaceutical fuckery, I present for your amusement the following Ambien commercial spoof  (which isn't too far off from the real ad spots and their litany of questionable side-effects, mind you), after the jump. Enjoy!
