When Sports Endorsements Go Too Far

While we certainly understand the business philosophy behind securing a celebrity sports figure to endorse a particular product or service, often times this trend veers right into the absurd.  This is where we step in.

If you’re a bald man sitting at home on your couch watching Sunday football and you have always dreamed of being blessed with hair like a WWF manager, then the ad campaign for the Medical Hair Restoration must have looked like a vision from the heavens. 

Suddenly there was a figure on your TV screen preaching about how you too could go from bald one day to luscious mullet the next.  Finally, MHR has heeded customer demand and delivered a way to get your frock to look just like Jimmy “The Mouth of the South” Hart’s. 

We may order the free DVD just to see if there is any footage of Jimmy standing in front of his bathroom mirror with a blow dryer in one hand and his megaphone in the other, raving about how full bodied his receding mullet has become. 

Somewhere, the Honkey Tonk Man is feverishly dialing the 1-800 number as we speak.
