Ritalin “The Shining” Joke Ad

Danny Torrance is a troubled young boy who has precognition and speaks to an imaginary friend who shows him things that terrify him. His parents are concerned, so they take Danny to see a pediatrician who prescribes him Ritalin. And once on Ritalin, Danny is way too wired and strung out to have any more paranormal experiences. And so they all live happily ever after, or at least until Jack kills his family with an axe at the Overlook Hotel, which might not have happened if they hadn’t put Danny on Ritalin to begin with. (But don’t let that stop you from putting your kid on Ritalin! That sort of thing hardly ever happens: really, we promise!)
