The Infrared Solution
While we work on getting our videos back on line, here’s some old-fashioned newspaper print advertising:
jtherkal: There are so many things wrong with this ad that I’m not really even sure where to begin. I guess let’s start with the headline, which is perhaps the best part. It reads like the title of a self help book. Hemorrhoids…and the suffering. Nice start. But then they got creative in the way they represent hemorrhoids–which is difficult to spell, by the way. Little red cartoon monsters marching in some sort of nebulous gray landscape. Aaahhhh! Look out! Shoot them with that there raygun! That raygun that looks like a flathead screwdriver coming out of the end of a drill. I don’t want that in my ass any more than I want those little red monsters. Mostly, I don’t want to go to a treatment center that runs this type of ad. When something goes wrong with your butthole, it’s a serious matter, not a wild cartoon. At least the doctor appears to be wearing some latex gloves, which is just good practice. F.
sjbooher: I’m guessing that most likely says “end the suffering”, but whatever. I don’t think this is particularly great, but my negative reaction might simply be as a result of having to think about hemorrhoids. Also, they should have played up the little cartoon guys, and played down that awful gun. You are not going to attract people to your service if they focus on the reality of that gun. D-.
jtherkal: It definitely says “end the suffering.” I’m an idiot. And to your point about the gun, if they were going to show it they should have made it look soft and fun. Like a feather gun, that tickles the monsters away.
