100th post!
I could end this post in a very negative tone, as it means coping with the idiocy of the other half of Buzzy, but I'd rather be upbeat. Tonight was an awesome night, and I hope to have one like it soon enough.

Another infomercial explained.
Would someone tell me that Light Relief actually has some form of scientific proof?
This ad from 2003 advertises a pad with LEDs (blue and red) brightly flashing and being held in close proximity to the skin.
I've heard there's some proof behind this actually working, but doesn't this just look like some other well-crafted miracle advertisement? There's gotta be some effect, right? I mean, let me get my bright LED flashlight on strobe mode and see if my sunburn goes away faster. If it does, I take back any negative thought I've had about this ad. Until then, I won't sleep.
Ever.
(I'm pretty tired. I should probably go to sleep.)
Oh...cute chick from yesterday? Yeah, she turns 15 today.
...
.....
........
Ewww. Dammit all.
I mean, seriously. I know 18 year olds that look half her age. WHAT THE HELL!?
I mean...creepiness aside, she's still cute. I was honestly convinced she was older.
I don't get out much, do I?
Yesterday, I was a beast.
Today, I'm mexican: working hard for very little money (that I found on the floor).
Yesterday, I went to a popular water park in the state. It's a breeding ground for hot women in bikinis. Upon going with a clan of 3 other white people, I noticed there were many of these hot women were looking in complete, polar opposite directions of us. It didn't hit me until we approached the wave pool...and there she was.
Pink bikini.
(Like a boss).
I joked that I should ask for her number.
Go figure, now it was peer pressure forcing me to get her number.
I walked up, (Like a boss) and asked for her number. NOTE: This is a FIRST in my life.
I got it moments later. It's 303, ***-**** (you think I'm that stupid?)
Anyways, she's very pretty. Turns out I picked the best one I saw that day.
BOSS LIKE A BOSS' BOSS.
Anyways, enough boasting. Tomorrow, I'll be filing for my own business license for BP rec. After that, I'll be hanging out in Denver, like another boss' boss.
Only downside to my water park visit? SUNBURN. So I called Banana Boat's bitch-ass up and demanded a refund. I got it (LIKE A BOSS WHO GOT FIRED AND HIRED BY THE COMPANY'S CEO'S HOT DAUGHTER DUE TO SEXUAL INTENTIONS...BOSS.)
I'll stop now.

So I just saw this ad
It's for a special additive for food that, sprinkled on like salt, can make someone lose weight fast.
The product is called SENSA.
Quickly, I picked up on a hypothesis of what the truth of this product must be.
This "Special" additive is nothing more than a bitter-ant.
- The additive makes whatever it's added on to taste like crap.
- The end result is the consumer eating less of the product, but feeling remorse every time they eat something without it.
Are there special antioxidants or working patents in it? More than likely not. However, the infomercial on TV consists roughly 90 percent of testimonials, fake doctor endorsements and skinny models eating attractive foods with the additive. There's also many empty promises that would probably distract possible customers from the real point: lose weight with a planned eating habit.
I could probably make a few million off of the idea of packaging a digestible bitter-ant, making ethos-based advertising that directly targets people's insecurities, market it for specific gullible audience groups, and sell the actual product for ten-fold what it'd cost to produce.
It's all about making certain people feel like they can't live without it. Think cigarettes, oil, and banking - just not tradition-based.
