If you are getting your wrinkles, and your spots, that means you are living your life, and you want to cover that up? Seriously?

Mods can lock this if they want, I don't really care, I was making a point.

I hate hatred!!!

But really:

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming. "Wow! What a ride"

I really like those Mascara ads that promise "50% more impact". As I've never noticed lash size or thickness on a woman it has no impact on me; nor have I ever heard anyone comment on someones lashes, why not promote this as 30000000% more impact - 300000 x 0 is still 0.

HATING HATRED THAT HATES HATRED, RAGGGGEEEEE! :banghead:

I hate the way they renamed "Oil of Ulay" to "Oil of Olay". I never could get the hang of the new name. Still, not as bad as when they renamed Marathon to Snickers: even now, people are still making jokes that it sounds like some sort of sixually transmitted disease, which is a long way to fall from the implied wholesomeness of Marathon.

Probably laugh at the longer eyelashes prescription medicine that had more side effecfs than it was worth

Try to forgive him, Daleks only know how to hate.

That's advertising for you, it's the 3 steps to instant success.
1: Enforce the message that the most important thing a woman can be is pretty.
2: Tell all women everywhere that whatever they naturally look like, it's hideous.
3: Sell products that promise to cover them with (temporary, so you have to buy more) prettiness.

If you don't smoke, drink excessively or lay out in the sun all your life your skin really won't look bad as you get older. Basically, take care of yourself and you won't have to worry about it.

I hate adds that try to make people feel self-conscious about their appearance. Why the hell should we care what a few random strangers think a bout it? Will we ever see them again? Unlikely. Will they ever see us again? Also unlikely. Would we even recognize each other if we did? Almost certainly not (unless we look like Dennis Rodman - that's sure to leave an impression). So why all the effort to convince us that we have to look great? The way I see it, if someone isn't going to accept you for who you are, their acceptance isn't worth having to begin with.

I also hate all these stupid adds for drugs. The format is always the same:

"Do you have [problem that is, in reality, a minor annoyance]? Try [new drug]. It will fix [minor annoyance]. Side effects include headache, upset stomach, diarrhea & nausea.* Some users have experienced [potentially life threatening circumstance] while taking [new drug]. You should not take [new drug] if you are nursing or pregnant, have a history of [something] or [generic other condition(s)]. Ask a doctor if [new drug] is right for you."

In about 9 out of 10 of these ads, the side effects are worse than the "problem" these "medications" are supposed to fix. You end up buying more medications to combat the side effects. This, in turn, causes more side effects, which leads to buying even more meds to combat those. Pretty soon, you're taking twenty + pills per day and you feel like crap because of the way they interact in your system, but you keep taking them because you "need" these meds to solve these internal problems. It doesn't matter that half the problems wouldn't exist if you weren't taking so many pills. The drug industry is working very hard to convince people that they need these drugs when, in fact, they don't (about 95% of the time).

* I really hate this particular phrase, because it needs a better explanation. "Side effects include headache, upset stomach, diarrhea & nausea" should be changed to:

Side effects include (but are not limited to) headache, upset stomach, diarrhea & nausea. This means you could experience all of these at once, plus some others that we haven't mentioned because we really, really want you to buy our crap.

People will complain about anything....

Turn off the idiot box!

I think thats an american phenomenon... In Australia (and I think the UK) they're restricted to saying "If you have condition/symptom X, go ask your doctor about the range of new treatments available". They're not allowed to talk about specific treatments. If it weren't for the logo at the end, you could easily confuse it for a public awareness advertisemant that the Government or health charities run.

i look beautiful as i am
im 23 with not a blimish because i dont use anything for my skin never have, waste of my time and money

They have to say that too, but they have the guy who narrates the commercial say it so fast that it's really hard to understand what he's saying ( there's a word for that, I can't think of it ).

Edit: Misread your post, my bad.

It is.

Yeah it is, due to the double-edged sword of commercializing medication: On one hand, the profit-driven pharmaceutical industry keeps the U.S. leading in medical breakthroughs, despite the lengthy FDA review process. On the other... we end up with commercials for drugs, and overhyped effectiveness/downplayed side effects/dishonest reporting regarding the drugs.

But, if the comment about the controversial drugs for "disorders" like A.D.(H).D. and Asperger's syndrome, I can assure everyone that they work, and the problems are real.

It's not just the US that takes the lead in medical breakthroughs though: that's just the excuse that they use. Then again, they use similar excuses and blackmail elsewhere (e.g. "we'll relocate our UK operation to another country if you try to regulate us" and so on).

I hate ads, period.

So you wanna be all busted up, worn, scratched up with broken gaskets and rust spots everywhere...

..lookin' nasty! Like a I-ain't-rollin'-indat, short-circuited, raggity-ass, get-off-the-freeway, bucket of clankin' bolts..


When for just a few measly bucks worth of parts, some anti-rust and some turtlewax from any SEARS garage & tune up service, you could be the hawt, hunky dashing dalek you once were in that picture..

whatever dude, but the grunge look just doesn't work for droids.. unless you're R2-D2

DALEKS KNOW NOTHING OF BEAUTY.

Then what, my froody calculator-on-wheels, is exactly your beef?


That we flesh-pots get old and raggity?

That you have to exterminate old, raggity people instead of young physically fit people?

No more sport that way?




Are you guys getting out of shape because we humans are becoming too easy to exterminate? -When I say 'easy', I mean 'fat and lazy' of course

Homer looks down, then goes for another pair of donuts, one for each hand.

:hehe:

<-------too sixy for lotions,
elixirs and potions,
toiletries and notions,
I want my follower's devotion,
a flowery commotion,
swelling like an ocean.
Come near, come here,
Come nearer
Kiss me baby, I'm the smoking mirror.






I get sick of them too, OP

Well men get silver hair and character lines while women get greay hair and wrinkles. So for women they want to cover it up.

Kidding by the way.

make women think they are worthless unless are specific way. then sell to them the things that make them look the way that is supposedly makes them worth something. kind of sad. what is worth is women buy into it. (pun not intended, kind of comes out that way, but it works, so i'll leave it at that.)
