Like cures like
February 18th, 2008
I keep seeing ads for Zicam on TV. Zicam is a homeopathic cold remedy that, unlike most homeopathic remedies, has progressed beyond anti-modern medicine hippiedom and found a marketing department. Homeopathy combines two stupid ideas: the claim that taking a substance that causes symptoms similar to an illness will cure that illness and that such a substance is most effective when diluted to the point where you’ve only ingested a couple of molecules of it.
I guess the moral of the story is that next time you get a headache, hit yourself in the head with a bat. A really tiny one.
Can you tell I’m bored tonight?
Are you ever awake at 3AM? Have you ever seen the ads for that product that enhances “that special part of the male anatomy?” It’s a pill you take to make your dick bigger. But never once do they use the word “penis”. I suspect if they used the word penis, they could be brought up for making blatantly false claims.
It’s hilarious, but the best part is this – they supposedly interview men on the street, and each and every interview is with a guy with a fabulous babe on his arm dressed in evening attire.
You’re not the only one who gets bored.
Do you have to be awake at 3 AM for those? Enzyte commercials are on during the day. They were, anyway; I believe they’re being sued now.
