This is an open letter to film and television producers everywhere.
I have no gripe with you giving your characters asthma. Lots of people have asthma. But seriously, if you're going to give them a condition that causes them to puff on their inhalers every five seconds, do some research. Or if you really cannot be bothered to find an asthmatic person and ask how to use an inhaler, then pause for a second and think about it. They're inhaling, right? Which means that they are taking in the medicine by inhalation? So what the hell sense does it make for them to breathe out again straightaway after inhaling it? MY GOD.
As a point of comparison, you will not recover swiftly from strep throat if you spit out your antibiotics before swallowing them.
And yes, the timing of this complaint has everything to do with Joss Whedon's new show Dollhouse; but YOU ARE ALL GUILTY OF IT. And, you know, most of you do not make shows as good as Dollhouse. So.

Yeah, that guy in "Hitch" totally did his inhaler wrong too!
If I had my way, they would all have their friends and families around them singing "One Bottle of Pop" as they held their breath. The educational power of this would be AWESOME.
