Well, those of us who are married can all relax now: there's finally a medical solution to keep our wives out of the friggin mall.
You see, all these years that we've been ascribing our ladies' assorted shoe fetishes to a matter of mere stupidity or the chronic inability to differentiate needs from wants, and to balance out this differential with available economic resources, it turns out that the poor girls have been sick. They suffer from "chronic shopping disorder," a very serious condition which effects an estimated 2% to 9% of the American population.
But now there's hope: according to this article from MSN Health, doctors are now prescribing the antipdepresant Celex to help curb this horrible illness.

Whatver happend to just owning up to the fact that you are dodging reality for the temporary pleasure of a new trinket? What ever happened to just taking away the credit cards? Bankruptcy? Credit agencies who actually require demonstrated financial responsibility prior to extending credit? Who knows, and who cares -- Celex is here to whisk away our CSD and help us all livehappier, fuller, lives form within the comfort of a drug-induced haze.
All we need now is a special pill that will keep baseball cappers from laying -175 and higher chalk on a regular basis, and we will truly be in Utopia.
