Turn up volume before playing.


I've been glued to CNN for the past week, and CNN's coverage of the Israel-Lebanon conflict (along with frequent checks to several websites) has kept me thoroughly informed. Unfortunately, Head On--some mystery product apparently designed for chapped foreheads--has purchased almost total ad time on the channel, so every fifteen minutes I'm assaulted by their retarded commercial (see above).
         Certainly this is not real. Right? When I first saw the commercial about two weeks ago I was appalled, so I quickly Googled and Yahoo'd the product name--but found nothing. When I revised my search to "HEAD ON APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD," I found a few results that mostly consisted of angry and confused blog entries written by people like me, searching for answers.
         But wait--
         I just scoured the web for more information, and I've come up with a few answers. Head On is apparently some sort of homeopathic headache relief medicine, produced by Miralus Healthcare. Damn hippie medicine--I should've known.
         This is an interesting approach to advertising--selling a product that induces what it is supposed to cure. Imagine where they can go with this: a radio spot for auto repair that makes your car break down. Or even a Valtrex commercial that automatically causes the viewer to contract herpes. Brilliant.
         As Brian Unger has already remarked on this advertising phenomenon, I feel that I do not need to comment anymore on this matter. Good luck avoiding this monstrosity of a commercial.

haha oh Chuck. That is so funny, because I have seen this commercial a million times. I could not believe it! I was like... is the tv stuck??? Did the people whose job is to design suitable commercials die?! It is a terrible terrible tactic, but yes I guess I should say, smart.

"some mystery product apparently designed for chapped foreheads..."

You crack me up.

& I still say my deaf man card is so much nicer-- even if you do think it looks Canadian. :)
