You gotta admit … you probably needed something like Head On to relieve the headache you got, once you saw this Head On ad.
Some marketing people apparently believe that causing the audience a pain in the skull is a smart way to attract new customers.
If you never saw this ad before, and you are wondering why you suddenly have a headache … data shows, it’s not the ice bucket challenge that you deftly avoided doing last week, when it was still cool.
This ad so toweringly distasteful and stupid, you can’t help but hope that the campaign from whence it launched crashed and burned mid-flight.
Seriously … the ad campaign manager responsible for this piece of trash ad could not think of a more original, less offensive way to promote a serious health issue like osteoarthritis?
This ad is, in fact, so bad, that we have to issue it our first ever Simon Sez Warning:
This looks so nasty … you simply can not unsee it. And you’re supposed to eat that?! It looks more like a gross prop from a sci-fi B-movie. Yuck!
Maybe it should be titled : Look at this ad and you’ll never want to eat again.
