Abrams Main Battle Tank at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Have you seen the TV ads for Bentcarrot.com, the site that touts Xiaflex, the only known medication for Peyronie’s disease? You may have noted that those who take the drug are also urged to exercise their penises. Explanation will be found on the insert. Then there’s Cyndi Lauper touting Cosentyx for psoriasis. Is this what happens to “Girls Who Just Want to Have Fun?” Ice-T has of course made a career out of his advertisements for Car Shield which are now set in the Barbershop of Ice Cube fame. But what about getting Annie Lennox of “Walking on Breaking Glass” fame to do commercials for the windows division of Anderson replacement?  Did you serve at Camp Lejeune from l953-87? Are you a victim of Mesotelioma? You may be eligible for the proceeds from a $35 billion dollar trust. Only you're unlikely to receive any money after your ambulance chaser gets paid.
