The Quick Fix
Drug and alcohol rehab has become a major industry. Stars are paying thousands of dollars for their two week stays at virtual country clubs with ocean views run by psychologists with Swiss bank accounts. I'm guessing the primary approach to therapy is making sure the guests are happy, and if they can also be kept away from mood enhancing substances until they decide to check themselves out, wow, that's a plus. I wonder how come there hasn't been a movie about it. I can see it now, Will Ferrell and John C. Riley as booze and uppers addled matinee idols spending their every waking moment trying to get goody bags past their keepers, played by Meryl Streep and Wilford Brimley. How about Club Meds for the title? Any other suggestions?

Now if it were a soap rather than a movie... titles could include "Drugged Out Days of our Lives"... "The Young and the Totally Wacked Out of It"... or maybe even "Desperate Drugo's" or "Grey's Lobotomy" or "(totally) Lost"... ("in space" could be an optional extra)... but then you may ask... what about Brian?
These people need to get a hobby... writing painting or acting maybe? Oh that's right... they're already acting... (grin)
Case of too much time, too much money, too little brain exercise and too many people bowing down to these unfortunate people.
Good cartoon, John C. Commentary up to it's usual standards, of course.
Not only my comments disappearing at time, now I have turned anonymous!!!!!!
Lee, I suspect you may have to arrange lie detector tests for a couple of the gremlins inside your "confuser."
John C, if this keeps up, going to toss the computer and all it's relatives out the window. (grin)
