Lately in surfing the Web (and especially tonight looking up things on Allmusic.com) I've been BOMBARDED by
those EXASPERATING, IRRITATING, CALCULATING, AGITATING, MADDENING and INFURIATING ADS ABOUT TOENAIL FUNGUS. Anyone who thinks Web ads can't be as annoying as the worst TV conmmercials should consider the HAMMERHAMMERHAMMER approach these use to beat surfers into submission. They go back well over a year and have been especially plastered over
ST. WARREN's properties (thus did I once call Slate.com TOENAIL.COM), and the disease shows no sign of abating. The ads are part of a campaign -- or rather,
offensive -- for some prescription elixir called
Lamisil, and it's made by a cretinous Swiss company called
NOVARTIS -- it MUST be full of morons to constantly poking its middle finger (complete with diseased -- toenail?) in our eyes. If I had connections or luck I'd start a Web site blasting this Sherman's March of advertising into our lives. How does NovartisSucks.com sound? (That ship of fools probably owns it.)
