Drug Company Commercials

It seems like we are being slammed with commercials by drug companies, especially for Lupitor and Chantix. The style of commercial is a testimonial by a typical user talking about how much their lives have been improved since using the product. The companies are using non-Hollywood types to do the testimonials and are even putting a small disclaimer on the screen that these people talking “are not actors.” Right. They might not be members of the actors guild, but I am sure they are reading a script and getting paid for their appearance in the ad. In my book, that makes them actors.
