We had to) and appears to be offering Brian, a visitor to a MySpace group about fibromyalgia, chronic pain and fatigue a credit card in the form on an ad that reads, “Chronic Feetigue.” In reaction to seeing this, check out the suggestions Brian sent Consumerist for future contextual corrigendums such as AIDS – Annual Interest Depression Syndrome.
