Sometimes, a company comes up with a great product and then just slaughters it with horrible advertising. See the following, for example:
“I’m not THAT OLD – 27”? A pre-emptive defense? Semi-decent skin?Why not just stick a notice saying “Olay, the product of choice for brainless idiots with semi-decent skin”?
I used to like the product but the chances I will purchase anything that is promoted with the line “27 is not that old” are non-existent.

Noooooooo. I LOVE Oil of Olay. It’s my favorite moisturizer. The quality and the price are unmatched. I have tried much more expensive moiturizers that are not nearly as good. I’m going to pretend I didn’t see this post or thad idiotic ad. 😉

– I know!! That’s why I like it, too. And then they go and do this. Brrr.

I don’t have television any more. Haven’t had it for nearly three years. If I want to watch a tv program I look around for it on Youtube or something. No more sensationalistic news. No more tv commercials raising my blood pressure. It’s wonderful.

I gave up on television last year, too, and feel exactly the same.

Is it a “thing” now to advertise products by posting the online reviews? This is the third product I’ve seen advertising itself by posting snippets from online reviews, and it doesn’t seem to be much more effective than a snappy slogan or the words of a professional endorsement.

This particular ad keeps appearing on nearly every feminist site I visit.
