Stupidest ad ever...

[Arch]

I just saw an ad for some hair jollop, supposed to 'repair damaged hair'.

Including the line "If this column (a big column comprised of plastic segments, some of which were missing) represents damaged hair, this is what it looks like".

WTF does that actually MEAN!

Damaged and severed hair defies the laws of gravity and physics and floats midair along with the rest if your hair. Its a very well known phenomenon championed by several leaders in the field such as Dr Schwartzkopf.

I dunno, is it any worse than those car ads where they try to convince the viewer how much better their life would be if they buy and drive car xyz?

Well yes, its all daft, but it was that one phrase that got me.

Probably, it means that your hair is missing ... bits ...

It's common knowledge that anything French sounding will work miracles, and be developed in a 'laboratwor' with long latin chemical names that probably translate as 'dung beatle foot powder'.
And of course all products can make the signs of aging on the 17 year old flawless model girly disappear (... temporarily).

... and a final mention that of 47 people asked 99.8% said it was full of awesomeness!!

Alright, here's another. Why do adverts for Sensodyne toothpaste all feature a 'real dentist' filmed at a cockeyed angle? What, you get perfect teeth but your eyes fall out?

I used to sit there and work out the statistical statements at the bottom of the screen, and occasionally some of them weren't exactly encouraging, especially given the relatively small numbers of people surveyed, but they obviously rely on people being too lazy/thick to try to think about it.

Cheers, Doug, I've never thought about that before.

There's an ad on Talksport at the moment where the opening line is "Is this the end for gas powered framing nailers?".
Catchy eh?

Any ad for perfume and/or aftershave has to rank highly in the stupid stakes IMO.

Ha ha yes, they are some of the worst. Spoken in a heavy French accent, "Eau de skunk, .....pour homme.......Paris".

Its the ever changing scare mongering of the toothpaste ads. The latest is about the acid erosion caused by eating fruit. WTF, eating properly rots your teeth now?
