I AGREE that there is no place for prescription drug advertisements on TV ("The games drug companies play," Op-ed, Jan. 29). Ironically, most couch potato superfans would not need the drugs for hypertension, high cholesterol, and other issues if they would put away the chips and beer and go play football in the backyard with their kids.
By the way, I loved Monique Doyle Spencer's trifecta of what women want in a guy ("earns his body odor honestly, drives a sedan, and is insured"), but my single friends say it is even more basic - a job, a car, and a license - and it is difficult in the jungle out there to find a guy with all three.
Some add a fourth: teeth.
