Head On

I believe this commercial was invented by the Syrians.

No, it's someone far more evil than any Syrian could dream of being.

Is that the one that we have NO idea on what it IS supposed to help with? I saw it on TWC (watching Ernesto) and was wondering the purpose of this annoying commercial and the medical problems that this product was needed for.

Its basically a bunch of wax that some people believe applying to the forehead will prevent or eliminate headaches. This is completely false. Placebo effect is the only possible solution. The 'active' ingredients are present in amazingly small quantities. I did some research tonight trying to find out what the product does.

In fact, the product doesn't state what it is supposed to do because it doesn't do anything, and would be sued if it stated such.

I did further investigative reporting by going into Drug Stores and asking how many people have looked for Head On. Apparently a bunch of people actually are looking for this thing. Be a hero, friends don't let friends use Head On.

What if the same HeadOn agency did a 3-minute ad?

I wish they'd come up with a HeadOn version of Preparation H. The commercials for that would be fun.

I honestly do believe there is a hemorrhoid product made by the producers of Head On... but I doubt they use the same approach. :lol:

This has GOT to be the most annoying commercial on television. Personally, while I know a lot of folks say they got a lot of attention... I'm one of the probable millions who've resolved NEVER to purchase this snake-tooth remedy if for no better reason than its insanely aggravating commercial.

LOL @ all the Head-On parodies. I've got to agree, it's the most annoying commercial currently on TV. It's like, if you don't get their stupid message the first time, or the second time, or the third time, they repeat it again and again so it's drilled "head on" into your noggin.
