FDA approves camera pill that takes pictures of your gastrointestinal system as it "glides through the small intestine." For anyone who has ever endured an endoscopy.

The question is, how long before x10.com has pop-under ads for these?

Awwww, yeah. My dad has undergone endoscopy more than once, and with any luck, I won't have to.

Best part of the article: "The product is available by prescription only." Damn, you mean random people won't be able to post pictures of their own small intestines?
