So I just saw the following ad banner. I reproduce it here in the belief that such reproduction for purposes of editorial critique constitutes fair use.
My first thought after reading the ad was: "Stubbly McMonobrow probably has lots of extra money because he doesn't spend it on tweezers or shaving razors."
Considering all the other quirky ads I'd seen through the Project Wonderful network, I figured this might lead to something funny. It was just a "make money by writing articles" e-book (need-extra-cash.net - not linking it or recommending it, but since it's their ad, I figured I needed to credit it). What a bummer. The ad that looked like it was for a "make money now" product really was for one... as opposed to my hope that it was some hip, tongue-in-cheek parody of such ads and led to a treasure trove of cool stuff.
On the other hand, it did get my attention, even if it was just to ridicule it. And with my luck, the guy in the ad's probably one of my few readers and now totally offended at my comment about his grooming.
