Am I the only one that takes offense to "Happy Pills" as a pharmaceutical sponsored banner for discussion boards which are full of spiritual pain and anguish?
I am being chastised for chastising Dr. Grohol. Seeking third party perceptions. Here's exactly what I said: "April fool's or not, I did not enjoy looking at the "Happy Pills" logo all day. Antidepressants are not "Happy Pills". There are no "Happy Pills". I felt condescended and trivialized by the very words themselves.
I think the logo showed poor judgment."
Comments?
