Bad Ads Revisited
We spoke a while ago about how dreary and crap adverts are at the moment. In the news right now are those incredibly annoying shampoo and cosmetic ads with their made-up-on-the-spot scientific justifications and statistics.
It's the made up words that get me. Ceratomaside. Polygenesen. Purkleweevleon. And so on. Our new magic ingredient, Burflewaffleide, actually dissolves wrinkle molecules. What they basically do, they get your bog-standard shampoo, as formulated in around 1927, and they get a tramp to piss in it. They call the piss Follypanomol or something, and they say it's a "new formula."
My little tip with shampoo, especially for the short of hair, is to water it down. Keep your old empty bottle, and dilute the new one 50/50 with water. It lasts ages. Oh, and never "rinse and repeat," either.
This has been a public service announcement.
