  • A is for Advertising

    I was at the store the other day, walking around, lolly-gagging, being cool, etc.  But then, I came across these pills in the diet/nutrition/across-from-the-cereal section.

    Wow.  Are you freaking kidding me? Lose up to 20 lbs over a period of time with diet and exercise plan?

    Since when is stating a fact a form of advertising your product?  You can lose way over 20 pounds if you get a tapeworm.  Or get stabbed in the heart. 

    It doesn't even say lose 20 pounds by using this pill and exercising and diet.  It's just telling you to exercise and diet.  I wanted to burn down the store at this point.

    But instead, I decided to get proactive.  If that's all it takes to advertise and sell a product, then count me in.

    So, here are a few new ways to advertise products.  Related companies: you can make checks payable directly to me.  Or leave it in a paper bag on my patio.

    And this is less of an advertisement and more of a suggestion:

    Interested companies: if you use this new packaging, I can gaurantee a three-fold increase in sales.*

    *If triple the people buy your product.
     
    The gym I usually go to had no water today when I arrived and blocked the bathroom so I couldn't pee and I had to pee so bad I couldn't work out, so I figured I'd drive down to the gym a few miles down the road, but when I got there, that gym was closed.  So I didn't work out today.  Score another point for the hurricane.

    P.S. - My right pinky toenail came off last night. I am partially to blame for messing with it. I am too scared to look at it or feel it.  Maybe the weirdest feeling I've ever had.
