Back in 2001, filmmaker Liz Canner (Deadly Embrace: Nicaragua, The World Bank and International Monetary Fund) took a job editing erotic videos for a pharmaceutical company.  Like most jobs probably involving pornography and drugs, it wasn’t at all what she thought it’d be cracked up to be:

Her employer is developing what they hope will be the first Viagra drug for women that wins FDA approval to treat a new disease: Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD).  Liz gains permission to film the company for her own documentary.  Initially, she plans to create a movie about science and pleasure but she soon begins to suspect that her employer, along with a cadre of other medical companies, might be trying to take advantage of women (and potentially endanger their health) in pursuit of billion dollar profits.  ORGASM INC. is a powerful look inside the medical industry and the marketing campaigns that are literally and figuratively reshaping our everyday lives around health, illness, desire — and that ultimate moment: orgasm.

haha thanks for the SPAM jhonsadins

Seriously though I think the last quote on the trailer here sums it up… “Let me find a new job before you air this.”

...Hell in a handbasket….

How many times do you hear old people tell you they wer eprescribed tons of pills, took them religiously, felt like shit, so they quit. Miracle of miracles, they felt 110% better. Anecdotal sure, but how many anecdotes does it take to become statistically significant?

BOYCOTT PHARMACEUTICALS!

Some people need some of them, indeed. Most of us don’t.
