WebMD banner ad at tvguide.com:

"Doctors pan pox parties. Sure, it worked on The Simpsons. But experts
do not recommend deliberately infecting your kids with chickenpox."

Looks like WebMD is all about exploiting dubious connections to popular
tv shows. Now the ad reads:

"What if you faced a plane crash like the characters on Lost? An expert
gives tips on how to survive."

Barry Margolin...
These sound like promos for local news on the affiliates of their
respective networks.


(And if you're ever on a plane that falls apart in mid-air and plummets
to an island with mysterious pirates who want your children and an
underground bunker with a doomsday clock... well, let's just say you'll
be glad you clicked on the ad.)

Why not? Parents have been doing it deliberately doing it for years. No,
not the "pox parties", but you're a mom w/ a sister with kids who have
them and you let them hang out to get it over w/ earlier.
