On the TV drama "Boston Legal" airing tonight, there was a plotline in which a woman sues a lawyer
she's dating after finding out that he uses an oxytocin spray (obviously based on Liquid Trust), claiming that he
"drugged" her. Another lawyer says the woman has a good case because oxytocin is a "hormone that can affect
bonding."
Apart from demonstrating real ignorance about the the product, the depiction was poorly written and
just plain weird. The lawyer is an oddball with Asperger's syndrome, while the woman is a gorgeous model-type half
his age. Somehow, in the end, it turns out that she really likes him for himself, and they stay together.
