Heck, I started to spoof them but realized that they'd use the names.
As far as fun goes, it's akin to coming up with new names for Ikea furnishings. The sad part is the enormous effort put into naming new drugs: the focthe psyhology behind the names, the focus of gwhat it sounds like it can do for you...if the mere power of suggestion that taking a pill will make you feel better imagine that with a designer name will make you feel twice as good- placebo at its finest. The amount of money spent on marketing a new drug is phenomenol from what I've heard in medical community; the scary thing is why do they feel the need to persuade or try so hard?
