Have you no sense of decency, AstraZeneca?

Exploiting cancer patients and Mother's Day to make a buck - that's how AstraZeneca rolls. 

No mention, though, if pink cupcakes will be offered in the kitchen. You recall those, don't you? Just in time for this past Mother's Day, AstraZeneca hatched a scheme to serve the goodies in chemotherapy injection areas as a way to promote its cancer meds.

There are a lot of things I miss about my youth.  One of those things is that when I was a kid, consumers weren't assaulted on tv, on the air, and in their doctor's offices (or in the chemo lab) with advertisements for prescription drugs.
