I wouldn't normally pick on an internet product ad, I've seen a lot of bad ones, but I was just cracking up over this one.
I just had to share.
It was even animated!
How about sharing the worst of the worst. I want to see if anything can top this. Keep it clean though ;)

| Not only is the ad hilarious, but apparently their free offer is basically a scam to trick people into buying more every month. |

What amazes me is that they actually expect people to believe it!
I figure if you buy the stuff, it's a stupidity tax.
ETA: It's just like the "Lose 10 pounds in a week" diet ads....yeah, lose the water weight, THEN the hard work begins.

While the imagery used is absolutely preposterous, and totally cracks me up, I'm also annoyed by the sloppy grammar:
"Less wrinkles in only 60 minutes!" is all wrong; it should be "Fewer wrinkles in..." or, alternatively, "Less wrinkling in..." although that last, while grammatically correct, isn't really pushing the core message very well LOL.

Bear,
I always want to speak to a manager when I see "10 items or less" written on the express lanes at stores. |
