  • Ads, Lies & Lawsuits
  • It was supposed to fight germs and viruses and stop a cold. Americans have shelled out hundreds of millions since 1999 to keep the cold & flu at bay with an herbal medicine known as Airborne.
  • "I have seen plenty of products get a marketing face-lift right before launching a new ad campaign or sponsorship."

  • iPod Paradigm Shift
  • This year I plan on getting my iPod a pirate costume for Halloween. Ok, maybe not. But can you believe they have Halloween costumes for iPods?
  • "Those customizable MP3 player face plates are very popular and are totally like making money for the creators."

  • "I use Breathe Right nighttime strips and I find they do the job they are advertising. My wife loves that I'm not snoring as heavy or deep, so now she can sleep as well."

  • Recession Dyes
  • Jobs are falling by the wayside. The price of fuel is out of control and foreclosures are at an all time high. America is tightening its belt. Personally, I’ve lengthened time between hair appointments; I don’t go out to dinner as much and probably won’t be buying a new car anytime soon – or maybe I’ll buy a hybrid.
  • "From what I read in a few places on the web about Perfect 10, it really is an impressive product. Unlike its predecessors, Perfect 10 dyes hair quickly—so quickly, in fact, that the color is done in just 10 minutes. While you might imagine this process would be harsh on hair, it's actually much less damaging than other dyes. Its pH is lower, so it strips less of the hair's lipid coating; additionally, the gentler formula makes hair less likely to break. Priced at $13.99, it's available in 14 shades. I'm curious how long the dye will last."

  • Selling Baby
  • Pregnant at 16?! Ok, maybe it’s not so bad if your name is Jamie Lynn Spears. Rumor has it that this young mommy to be will receive $1 million for her baby’s first pictures. Wow! That’ll put a child through college!
  • "Selling your baby pictures for money, even charity, is insanely scary."

  • Side Effects
  • Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, and in rare cases paralysis, and even death. In the middle of a commercial the announcer runs down a list of side effects for the drug being marketed.
  • "Sounds like you are taking my POV Michael, thanks....lol Where is my brother to hear that I'm not alone in my opinion."

  • "Thanks for bringing this topic into view, I love the article. My brother is a pharmaceutical representative and we have had MANY knock down, drag out fights over this FDA/medicine topic. It is such a polarizing topic for many people."

  • Disney’s Idolmania
  • Fox’s American Idol, the juggernaut of the airwaves and a marketing mother ship, is taking another step toward world domination. Walt Disney’s Hollywood Studios is opening a live performance Idol attraction in late 2008. Their goal is to “try to recreate the excitement of the final 24.”
  • "I noticed those ads during Paradise as well Gimple, but I think the ads add to the realistic look to the city you are racing in."
