Got two this time. I listen a lot to ESPN Radio. Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg apparently make a lot of money doing commercials for various sponsors. Their current Big Wow is an exercise program called P90X. The really fun commercial for P90X, which I note is no longer running, was where Mike Golic said he’d tried “all the fad diets, and they don’t work.” <\/p>\n
Why was this spot pulled? Because, just prior to P90X, Mike and Mike were selling NutraSystem. I bet they didn’t like being called a “fad diet”. Dan Marino (NutraSystem shill) might be offended.<\/p>\n
OK, and now… Another popular spot is Rosetta Stone Software. Their current spot has a guy calling in and asking, “You’re offering a free demo of your software. What’s the catch?” “There’s no catch. We’re so confident that you’ll love our software that we’ll send you a FREE DEMO.”<\/p>\n
OK, so what’s the catch here? IT’S A DEMO, PEOPLE. Not a fully-functioning, complete lesson (like Video Professor will send you, for shipping and handling). A demo. Get over it.<\/p>\n
