Is this a blipvert? →[More:]

These damn ads are running on CNN every ten minutes or so, and they'll run two or three of the same ad in a row. I feel like I'm being programmed with secret instructions to kill someone, which I may well do if I have to hear these things much longer. AAAAARGH.

I know! I hate them. Know what really drives me crazy about it though? They keep saying HEAD ON APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD but the words on the screen say HEAD ON APPLY DIRECTLY TO FOREHEAD. No 'the'.

It's the little things.

It would sound even MORE robotic if the voice didn't include the "the."

Is that the whole commercial?? They didn't describe what the product *does*.

Why doesn't Headon.com have an RSS feed?

That IS the whole commercial. There used to be more standard ones, explaining that it's a headache remedy, but now it's been condensed down to this 10-second hypno-advertisement.

And eatitlive, would you really want an RSS feed that just said "APPLY DIRECTLY TO FOREHEAD!" every 4 or 5 seconds?
