Enzyte | For Guys With Little Dongs - Bad Commercials
by: Stuart

I think these are bad commercials but I do love how deliberate the voice over is. So this is a BIG bittersweet bad commercial. Funny in a bad way, a sad way.

Here are some of the overtly suggestive and tacky copy points:
“Bob gets a BIG lift from Enzyte”
Visual “Gain with arrow pointing up”
“Enzyte is FIRMLY the #1 selling brand…”
Visual “BIG IS GOOD”
Visual “Join Bob…images of WOOD”
“Enjoy the FULL, ROBUST confidence..”

Laser technology to detect diseases in a less invasive way. Lazors pew pew!
by: Sarah

lazorz pew pewA new, less invasive, technique to detecting diseases quickly and more efficiently. The new technology involves a laser and a tube for you to breathe in. That’s right, you breathe into a tube and the laser detects your ailments.

To use the device, a person breathes into a tube into which a laser is shining. Mirrors positioned around the tube reflect the laser signal to enhance detection of compounds. The laser signal bounces off the different chemicals in the breath sample, and the device is able to detect the unique light signals of specific compounds.

But the new laser technique provides a way to assess the levels of many different compounds in the breath at once, offering a more accurate picture of whether a person has a particular disease.

The advantages of the laser technique — known as optical frequency comb spectroscopy — is that it would provide a painless and non-invasive way of detecting certain diseases. In addition, it could enable physicians to detect some conditions earlier when they may be more easily treated, Ye said.

Totally awesome, it is said that they hope to do this with routine check ups as well. Basically the laser allows you to find out what is wrong with you faster, without the need of waiting for those pesky, and often hard to determine if they are doctor worthy, symptoms. No one likes a hypochondriac.
