I wonder if they are connected in an odd way. The adds for medication
and even the news gives phone numbers to call. OTOH, I wonder if all
the publicity from Kate Spade gave Tony the thought, "maybe it is a way
out" and thus tried it.

So many thing that never happened in the past become frequent after
publicity. School shootings, using trucks to run people over, car
jacking, etc.
