"Apply directly to..."

If you've had the misfortune of encountering a certain obnoxiously loud and repetitive television commercial, you know the rest of that line. If not, consider yourself fortunate. The product, whose purpose the commercial never actually mentions, is supposedly a headache medication. Considering how they advertise, I can only hope the makers don't expand their product line to include a hemorrhoid medication.

I... LOATHE... that commercial. It's one of the worst ads I've EVER seen, a perfect example of advertising that drives business away.

But hey they got the message across!

Was the intended message "Do not buy this product and do not support the bozos who made this annoying commercial!"? That's the message I got.

... the forehead!

Yup - I know that commercial. If it weren't for the fact that I can't tell you the product's name, I'd say it's a brilliant bit of advertising... as far as it promotes product recognition. Instead, it promotes recognition of the commercial. And, I wouldn't be caught buying that product because the advertisement seems to be aimed at utter morons.

I give up What commercial is it? :) It's driving me nutty not trying to guess what it is.

I won't say the name of the product, but the name describes a type of collision.
