Marketing Cycle

This morning NPR reported on a pill that banishes the period altogether. In other words, get on this cycle and stop yours.

Not only is it fine, healthy, normal, not weird, say the health experts, but the whole forced period thing you get when on the regular pill was nothing more than a marketing ploy to begin with. When you're on the pill, you never really do get your period. So, why bother. Now the new marketing bashes the old marketing. They're pushing this pill without a period as the new normal.

Really, the only loser in this deal is the tampon industry.
