NBC a story had on it. At least they agree it's annoying. I'm sorry to say they also think it will likely work. I hope we are both wrong. But I expect we will see more of this kind of advertising in the future.
This ad is the worst one I've ever seen. It's on the weather channel and fox news channel.
First:
What is this stuff? A wrinkle cream? A headache cure? A telepathic ability inducer? A topical poison? The ad never says! What the hell is it for?!
Second:
The repetition is annoying. "Head on! Apply directly to the forehead!" "Head on! Apply directly to the forehead!" "Head on! Apply directly to the forehead!" "Head on! Apply directly to the forehead!" "Head on! Apply directly to the forehead!" "Head on! Apply directly to the forehead!" "Head on! Apply directly to the forehead!" "Head on! Apply directly to the forehead!" "Head on! Apply directly to the forehead!" "Head on! Apply directly to the forehead!"
Squawk!!!
Squawk!!!
Squawk!!!
Third:
How can the actress applying this crap directly to her forehead live with herself, and keep a straight face? I guess she has to eat. I hope they paid her well, and I'm glad I don't have to resort to doing that kind of stuff to live.
I'd hope that the people who came up with this ad fail miserably, but given my cynical view of 21st century society it will probably sell like hotcakes.
I'd like someone to apply a bat directly to the forehead of the idiots who came up with this annoying thing.
I don't care if it's a cure for the common cold, provider of eternal youth or and IQ enhancer. I'm never buying it!
"Apply directly to the forehead", indeed.
