Brisdella: Countess of Monte Cristo
Jane Fonda starred in the movie version of a French comic strip – Barbarella – who was entrusted with a mission to save the Earth. It involved lots of being sexy, with Fonda ending up “the most iconic Sex Goddess of the 1960s” as a result, according to the New York Times.
Well, perhaps Earth will have to be saved by Brisdella, the Sex Goddesses featured in the latest stunning Direct to Consumer Advert for Brisdelle. This is GSK’s paroxetine, Paxil, repackaged for peri-menopausal hot flashes.
A series of women are featured as transformed from Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown to Lara Croft, Purdy from the Avengers, or ...
BRISDELLA.
There are the usual rushed-small-print disclaimers. You’d never guess that Brisdelle is Pregnancy Category X for birth defects and carries a Black Box warning for suicide.
When one of these women finds she can’t get off Brisdelle because the withdrawal is too horrific, and faced with the prospect having her bones rot because of enforced SSRI intake, a greater risk of stroke because of her enforced SSRI intake, a greater risk of burning hands and feet in perpetuity because of her SSRI intake, what will she do?
What will she do when she finds she has become Nearly Invisible, as Moyra Peralta puts it one of RxISK’s manifestos Nearly Invisible: Drug Traffic Accidents, or as one of the women in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown sings
“Though things are pretty much the same
As how they used to be
the doctors still are smiling
they just never smile at me
At first I thought they must be blind
like love or gravity
but then I realised
I feel like supergirl! I’ve become invisible
I’m a magic trick. Isn’t it wonderful?
Like a character in a comic book
I can see what you’re thinking but I don’t care
So if you’re on an empty street
and you hear the tapping of high heeled feet
Or you hear a heart like a phantom beat
or the screams of a woman left incomplete
well don’t fear what you can’t see
the odds are good that its only me
I’m invisible”
Will she, cloaked in invisibility, and with the emotional numbness (albeit drug induced) of a contract killer, avenge the children, the parents, the partners who have died a death more common than deaths in war, even when civilian casualties are counted in: Brand drug-induced death?
Or having worked it out, will she take pleasure in waiting and watching the West fall without having to fire a bullet – as the numbers of mentally handicapped swell and healthcare costs balloon in the absence of the data that would make what we are doing economic and rational. The only way to survive is on an all-for-one and one-for-all basis. But this is not how the boys are playing the game. So it should be only a matter of time till they hang separately – except there is always the risk that this time the Empire might get too strong."
