The Seal Of The Pill: E Pillibus Moon'Em

"The real pill is far more bitter."

Dr. Pill interview: "The Patriot Pill is a satirical pulpit for the sale of patriotism to Americans. It is a commentary on the unholy union of the US government and the pharmaceutical industry. The pill is often accompanied by several doctors bankrolled by large drug companies and some well known heads of state who are eager to push their new creation on an unsuspecting public. To us, it is an American Dream to make and sell a good product. It is also an American Dream to live a happy, healthy life, and to love your country. What happens when all these dreams collide in one theoretical product, in the context of our messed-up health care system? The Patriot Pill, an expression of the logical extreme. "

"Can I drive it?"

The Pill goes for a drive on the parade grounds "You better hurry, it's a fast acting Pill"
