Shades of gotterdammerung.

There a commercial running for Bayer Aspirin that annoys me so much that I have to mention it again. Oddly enough I cited it months ago and still cannot find it on YouTube, though it runs frequently. The commercial shows a man on a plane asking the attendant for something for pain. When she profers Bayer, he tells her, "I'm not having a heart attack." The subliminal message being that everyone on earth—and in the air—knows that 50 cents worth of Bayer (no other kind of aspirin, mind you) will cure a heart attack. A ridiculous claim, of course. But one that is suggested often. I happen to find Bayer a particularly deceptive and despicable company, not only for their dishonest advertising but because they obsencely overprice almost all their chemical products for man and beast. In addition, though many people seem to have forgotten, Bayer, a German company, was only too happy to provide the Nazis with the killing gas they needed to carry out the Holocaust during World War II. I know they would like to divorce themselves from their loathsome past but since they still specialize in, and profit from, poisons, I think their heart is still in the business.
