As long as we're discussing Fox, I might as well add this link: Feds Target Cortislim for False Advertising Does anybody really buy this stuff?
I don't know if anyone buys it, but those Cortislim ads are GENIUS!! Tell fat people that its not thier fault, that its all about stress.....GENUIS!! Tell them that this product is only for 'serious dieters', basically challenging them to buy it....DOUBLE GENIUS!!! I hope the FDA nails Dr. Greg Cinnamon to the way.....but really, dumb people deserve to be swindled out of their money.
Am I the only one that thinks that "Dr" Greg Cinnamon probably has his Phd in 18th Century English Literature? But yeah, there's some clever commercials out there. My favorite is for that copper bracelet that has person after person raving about it but never makes the mistake of actually claiming that it does something. Brilliant!
what products do US viewers of FoxSportsWorld buy? (so that when cortislim is busted there's something profitable to fill-in) 1) beer 2) I wish there was an exercise-bike-powered TV that received FSW, GolTV, Univision, Telemundo, espn2, etc (plus Bravo if it brought back the weird soap opera "Significant Others"): no pedal-o, no game-o 3)???????
Well, judging by what is on there now, I'd guess that market research shows the average FSW viewer is a fattie with erectile dysfuntion and a penchant for signing up with the Armed Forces.
And their only form of excercise is that Startkick product that they can do wearing the Q-Ray bracelet while watching I, Max on TV with Girls Gone Wild videos on top of their TV sets. And BTW I like Dream Team (soccer and soap opera: can't beat that) as well as Desparate Housewives. At least isn't one of those yuppy 90210-wanna-be shows (like the OC) or crappy reality shows. As for Republica Deportivo (or whatever that show is called), if I wanted to see brainless girls bouncing up and down on TV, I would've watch the Playboy channel instead of that.
I hate to admit this but I love the show Dream Team. If you ever get a chance, watch these shows besides Coupling on BBC America: Little Britain Trailer Park Boys The Office
My favorite was the one for the Smoke Away ads. They had some gray-haired doctor talking about how it worked great and she recommended it to all her patients. Thing is, the letters following her name and the stuff behind her in her office indicate that she is a... chiropractor. Then again, who better to plug quack cures for smoking addiction than a chiropractor?
I have a formula for success, In between world class soccer matches show hardcore porn. Cut out all the Bullshiite infomercials. Best channel ever.
