I don't understand why there are so many advances in medicine and technology and the world in general, but baldness is still a problem. As I've said before, when I see bald people at work, I want to bop them on the head. Or squeeze their head. It's just one of those standard human reflexes.
But the commercials these days for bald cures are basically the same as I remember when I was first watching TV. Some suckers, before-and-after pictures, and really unrealistic hair. I even think they're using some of the same stock footage from the late 80's. Check this guy out.
Great. I'd rather have my hair be made out of flame than have lettuce like this guy. And he was advertised as an "All Star" along with some other no names. Just because you can put on headphones, it doesn't mean you're a star. I don't care if he was giving away that week's winning lottery numbers before the drawing, I'm not listening to this fool once I know what he looks like. Being bald is better than having long, weird looking, creepy hair that was transplanted from a stray cat.
In other examples of advertising failing, I was researching my fantasy football team (6-0) and this gem showed up on the side bar.
Yeah, sure she won the $100,000 from playing the McDonald's Monopoly game, but how much money did she actually spend there to get enough game pieces? I doubt she broke even.
Finally though, McDonald's had to show one of their real patrons rather than just hiring skinny people to pretend they eat McDonald's on commercials. Divine justice there. The truth shall set you free.
I understand the need for advertising revenue, but sometimes it gets out of hand. I go to Weather.com and there are literally 6 separate and distinct advertisements on a single page. And who knew housewives are so successful? Judging by online ads, stay-at-home moms have somehow: figured out how to lose weight with one secret, cured yellow teeth, got out of debt, and made hundreds of dollars an hour from their home.
To illustrate my point, I found this block by searching for maybe 3 seconds.
What are the odds?
I'm from HOUSTON! The weight loss solving mom is from
MY TOWN. I'm so pumped I'm going to buy 100 units of whatever they're selling.
Here's my own free secret for white teeth: don't smoke cigarettes while drinking coffee and yellow dye. And brush them.

but people get money from other people clicking on ads. i never do, they seem like a scame anyways.
If I can, I right click and block images from the site. Sometimes it works sometimes its doesn't.
