A media exhibit that mocks drug company advertising is so convincing that some people actually believe the syndrome exists AND the drug exists, too!
The non-existent drug called Havidol (for you whose first language is not English, this drug name sounds like 'have-it-all' in English) for
Dysphoric Social Attention Consumption Deficit Anxiety Disorder (DSACDAD), which was invented by the artist, Justine Cooper.
The multi-media exhibit is currently at the Daneyal Mahmood Gallery in New York. It also features a website:
www.havidol.com
Doesn't surprise me, at all.
Should have kept the ruse going, then release a claim of a class action
suit pending, seeking people affected.
Then, bust the people seeking compensation for fraud.
