Austin Lounge Lizards - Prescription for Change - This video

is great!!

 

 

Look at this video cartoon and song by the Austin

Lounge Lizards (see message below, found and

forwarded by Emma Holister in France) that pokes

fun at the drug companies with a serious intent -

forcing change in the prescription drug scene...

 

Kind regards

Sepp
