A TV ad for a vitamin designed to help with eye health
starts with a person asking:
“If there was a pill to help protect your eye health as you
age, would you take it?”
And then they say: “Well, what if it belonged to someone
else? Would you still take it?”
And then they say:
“And what if by taking it, it would end up making the person you took it from
blind? Would you still take it? You would? You selfish jerk! Shame on you!”
Okay, it doesn’t really say the stuff after the first quote
at the top. But maybe it should?
And maybe it should also say: “Well, what about if it made
you pregnant with the Antichrist? Oh, my God; are you really that selfish? Holy sh!t, you maniac! And just so you could see
better? Wow! Unbelievable.”
Well, this might not seem like the best strategy to you,
adding in all these extreme things; but it sure would get everyone’s attention,
wouldn’t it? You wouldn’t be likely to forget about Ocuvite then, I’ll bet!
