Dumb ad of the day.
I just came upon this monstrosity from a company called Love Peace Planet products at www.tigihaircare.com. Visually there's a nubile young thing, tongue akimbo, in a state of deshabille and then the headline:
"Yeah, I'd like to save the planet, but who says my hair can't look good doing it."
"Sure I'd like to end lynching and the KKK,
but first let me polish my nails."
"I'd love to free the Jews in the death camps,
but that's no reason my shirts can't be ironed."
Nothing like trivializing the central issue of our time.
