GlaxoSmithKline has been forced to update its package insert for Requip, a drug used to treat restless legs syndrome (RLS) or, "jitters in the legs," which some claim isn ’t a real disease.
What is real, is that Requip also causes “pathological gambling,” and “increased libido including hypersexuality.”

I wonder why comedians don't read these inserts to find material. I remember a TV episode where a PR firm sat around trying to come up with a perfect name for the disease...and hence "RLS." Can't remember that show but I remember they were brainstorming.
