Reuters-May 13: Users of the 'Sunshine' drug
Prozac may have found another alternative according to Health Ministers.
The drug, which is supplied in a blue and white
pack may well be now redundant following the demise of Blackburn Rovers after a fatal cash
injection.
"We are hearing reports from all over the
country that it may well become redundant," says a Health spokesman. "Seems on
looking at the packaging, people were reminded of the Blackburn strip and last night's
result, which brought on a huge feeling of euphoria and happiness, hence alleviating the
use of the product. The NHS could save millions."
In a separate report, the BBC reported their
switchboards were jammed with requests to repeat the scenes after the match where red
faced Blackburn fans were seen sobbing uncontrollably after their team's demise.
"We take these requests very
seriously," explained a BBC insider. "As such we showed the footage again every
half hour on BBC's 'Breakfast Time' and will follow this up with repeat showings tonight
along with in-depth coverage on Saturday's 'Grandstand.'
"With so much bad news in the schedules at
the moment, it's good to be able to show a good comedy production from an independent
source. We're hoping for the same next year."
