At Bayer, company executives have released a
series of Saturday-morning-style cartoons which they hope will motivate
their sales reps to continue marketing their birth control drugs. The
most popular of these cartoons is “IndiYaz A Jones and the Temple of
Estradiol.” According to Pharmalot.com,
estradiol is a hormone that is contained in the Yaz contraceptive which
is sold by Bayer. The cartoons were created by an animator at Bayer in
2008, and were only meant for internal training purposes. They contain a
variety of different pitches that can be imitated and articulated by
the sales representatives at Bayer.
The cheap cartoons contain dialogue about the drug
in a staged format, as if IndiYaz A Jones himself is searching for the
pills. The cartoons are supposed to mimic the classic Indiana Jones
movies with Harrison Ford, and even contain mock animated versions of
other TV personalities like Oprah. The cartoons are part of a series
that has been labeled Segmentation Tonight, a reminiscent title that is
supposed to refer to “Entertainment Tonight. The Oprah Winfrey-type
character reminds sales representatives that they should never bash
their competitors. These odd cartoons were only used for training
purposes, and were not intended to be released to the public. When a
YouTube user got a hold of the episodes and posted them online, they
were promptly taken down.
Yaz, Ocella, and Yasmin birth controls can be
dangerous, no matter what an experienced sales representative or a
cartoon tells you. They can come with horrific side effects that leave
women with deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or a
stroke.
If you have been harmed by taking one of these contraceptives, you
should seek medical attention and a personal injury attorney right away.
