Latest pseudo-disease. . .
 

It's official - now getting pissed off for being stuck in a traffic jam isn't just having a short fuse, being HUMAN or being pissed off for being stuck in a traffic jam. . . it's (drum roll):

INTERMITTANT EXPLOSIVE DISORDER!!!

This just keeps gettin' better. As if the whole human psychology profession had much credibility to begin with, they just keep coming out with gems like this. . .

I guess my irritation at high gas prices are really "fuel-induced financial stress disorders" and my interest in P-cars is "automotive-obsessive-compulsive disorder" and so on. EVERYTHING is a disorder now.

Does that mean I can get a prescription for them happy pills now? I mean, that's what this industry wants right? Everyone to be dependent on them for $300-an-hour consultation sessions and $200-a-bottle "feelgood" pills, no?

Just when I think the world can't possibly get any weirder. . .

that belongs on theonion, not cnn or the rest of reality

I saw an ad the other night for a drug to cure RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome). This is where your legs feel all fidgety or something, and now they have a drug for it.

Apparently 10% of the US population has this disorder. WTF?

We are so freaking spoiled in the country that we have the luxury of coming up this crap. As Chris Rock said.."Aint nobody in Rowanda have lactose intolerance."

Too funny

medication time...medication time...

Oh sure, all you guys are laughing about this, only because you don't know of anyone who suffers from this debilitating disease. I have suffered for years...and have countless sand wedges and putters that had to be reshafted as a result of my condition. Even a cherished original Scotty Cameron Newport....oh, the horror!

Jeff, you are in SoCal - I thought you guys had already come up with a feel-good cure for this. Isn't it called Spontaneous Shooting Therapy?

Hay, I got that!

Here in the south we like the phrase "Drive by hunting accident"

Hmmmm. . . you know I might be able to use that as a defense.

I'm gonna' go lock & load and put Mr. Bang-bang in my glove compartment for tomorrow.

It's easy:

1. With the baby boomers aging, there will be more and more diseases found, nostrums hawked and paranoia will increase.

2. With our current society, no one is responsible for anything anymore and everyone is a victim of something.

Interesting world we live in!!

As long as we're talking about pharmacuticals for diseases that don't need it: how about the toe nail fungus stuff that the tests showed was only slightly better than nothing. And I heard it's over $100 a bottle!

Although this raises eyebrows, there clearly is a subpopulation of humans that has excess anger in a given situation (which is all the describing of the disorder states). Sometimes, this has been ascribed to high testosterone levels etc. In fact, based on the ratio of your finger-length, the increased levels of aggression has been described. The presence of this disorder does not make right/wrong indistinguishable (which is what the insanity plea is based).

I get it after a night of eating Mexican...or hot wings for that matter.
