We’re not sure what ad Alley saw, and we’re not sure what drug other than Abilify is being promoted.
For that matter, we’re also not sure why it’s “Orwellian” for a drug manufacturer to use animated characters to promote an FDA-approved antipsychotic.
In any case, it is just one more example of the idiocy that passes for sound science among the “medicines are poisons” crowd.

Update:
Alley continued her anti-pharmaceutical rant this afternoon:

She also retweeted these:
@kirstiealley When drug co's can afford ads that get between a doc & his patients every 15 seconds something is wrong somewhere.

@kirstiealley Cymbalta is a horrible drug too. Trying to get off that is next to impossible. Scary side affects.

Here’s how she responded when a reader defended Abilify’s advertising:
@suzieqolden I consider what I say on
my own timeline my prerogative ..I didn't seek you out so no need to be a fuckwit…move along— Kirstie Alley (@kirstiealley) March 31, 2013
Sounds like Alley and Donald Trump would get along just fine.
