Who Does Depression Hurt
6/12/06 21:08There's a commercial for an antidepressant called Cymbalta that has given birth to a new household catchphrase. The ad asks "Where does depression hurt?" There are a variety of images of people looking, um, depressed, usually with someone else around them looking worried about their parent's/friend's/lover's unhappiness. In one shot there's a nice collie-ish looking dog gazing with concern at his depressed owner. So now, when the commercial comes up, we all stare at Emily and (courtesy of Sarcasm Girl, who came up with the phrase) chorus "Depression Hurts the Dog! Depression Hurts the Dog."
As usual, she treats us as total nutcases. Too bad, dog. You live here.
