Don't Worry, Be Happy

Hat tip to the pseudo girlfriend for pointing this out, but has anyone else noticed how amazingly normal people in anti-depressant medication commercials look? Oh, they're doing contemplative things like looking out windows and taking off their glasses to see things on the desk, i.e. things normal people do all the time. The only way in which they look depressed is by comparison; if you juxtapose them with the ridiculous, inordinate degree of smiles, joy, and good-lookingness that comprise all other commercials.

I generally avoid shit like this, but it's hard not to see the implicit message: depressed people look normal, which while it might be true on some level, still gives me the willies.

Update: I just received a text from my partner, dissatisfied at the "pseudo" moniker. Suffice to say that she is, in all things (amongst them displeasure it would seem) the real McCoy.
