[QUOTE="Flynn, post: 3804489, member: 1836"] This is way off topic, and it's okay if you don't believe me. I could easily be wrong in general, though I've found specific examples in my local area where I am correct in my assertions. I would suggest, if you want to check yourself, that you might look at all the meds that are referenced by these ads placed directly on the packaging. From my observations, many of those "brand-name" products that are referenced are owned by one or two central "brand-name" companies, and only one or two "generic" subsidiary companies have those labels on the packaging. Given that, and a little research with Google as to who owns each of the companies involved, and you can make up your own mind. However, it's a long cry from the "Like that? You'll love this!" rack, or the indie band promotions, where the packaging makes no such claims, even if the people involved do make claims through other means, or more specifically, if others not involved in either product make such analogies on their own. Different discussion there, and one I feel is not related to the packaging claims issue that originally inspired our comments and observations. But really, none of this really matters as far as gaming goes. (That is, unless it serves as the basis for an adventure or something like that, and then we can link it back somehow to using the Role-Aids product line as part of the adventure, such as Demons that control the companies involved in a modern-day variant of the Demons setting.) Let's try to get back on topic here. If it helps, I apologize for making an observation that you didn't like or agree with. :) Hope That Helps, Flynn [/QUOTE]
