"Depression Hurts" Commercial Hurts Dog

So I was being a good boy last night, when Google Alerts alerted me to the following You Tube of an early version of the "Depression Hurts" campaign ad for Cymbalta by Eli Lilly. I've poked fun of this ad oh, like, many times already.

Now, someone has recorded and posted a home video of their dog howling at the Cymbalta commercial. Some of you know how this dog feels.

Major credit goes to Mo!, who is a pretty funny guy. In other news, I have finally figured out how to embed You Tube code.

I've got two dogs and they literally went berserk. Maybe they need a little Prozac (JK). Seriously though I haven't laughed so hard in awhile but what a sick ad. And congrats on the YouTube!

My Beagle ran in and turned her head sideways and started howling too!!!! It must be some coded dog language. Now, I have teasing poor Bessie Beagle all day!!!

Now enrolling, a triple blind,open label, non-control decibel level on speakers, study on house pet reaction to this You Tube display. To remain an open-minded study this is not limited dogs or cats.
All domesticated housepets, whether bird, fish, reptile, rodent or "other" may be included.

Age and gender of pet to be noted. Objective of the study is to determine whether or not pets are probable cause for laughter among human beings. Therefore, proving that laughter is the best medicine vs. Pharmaceuticals.

I just saw the ad on TV here in Montreal Canada. I didn't take note what station it was on. Sadly I don't have a dog to sing along. I have no problem with ads. I think "normal" people should enjoy psychiatry as much as I have.
