tomato, to-MAH-to, Truvada, Tru ... nevermind

Okay, I already have TWO jokes in my act about the very specific topic of "HIV drugs as advertised on the subway," but I just saw ad an for Truvada that defies belief.

The ad features an attractive, bald, genial-looking black man standing in front of his motor scooter.


The full text reads:

You worked hard to get where you are.
So why settle for an HIV med that's twice-a-day?
Er ... you worked hard to get where you are? Down the yellow-brick HIV road? I know I have trouble setting priorities, but that's ridiculous.

And, come on, if you have a life-threatening illness, GOD FORBID that you should have to take TWO ENTIRE PILLS A DAY! Jesus, what if someone told you to exercise and eat better?

What, it takes five seconds and might save my life?
Balderdash! I'd rather shoot up with a dirty needle.
