David Zucker, the director behind Airplane! and the Naked Gun series, was sitting at home watching TV when he realized that the Obama administration’s presentation of the Iran deal is the same as every prescription drug commercial. “Every prescription drug ad follows the same basic pattern—5 seconds of how amazing and wonderful the drug would be, and then 25 seconds of all the miserable side effects,”
