I agree with what you are saying Tassy. I think some people fake an illness or injury to get certain medications. I do not however think it is funny. If you are that desperate to get a drug that you have to fake an illness, then you have an addiction problem. I was more annoyed that they seem to find mental illness and people addicted to drugs funny. Neither are funny conditions and it is pathetic to laugh at people because of them.
