    haha!

    seriously tho, I bet a big company could market some shit like that and convince people they needed it.

    dogshit perfume, and dogshit shampoo would come next.

    good question for the mundanes because a lot people do seem to think an ad on tv makes something a big deal.
    myself personally, would not trust anything they had to invest that heavily in advertising to sell.
    and if it were only advertised on tv, not owning one nor wishing to, i would very likely never know it existed.

    what's even worse than commercials is product placements

    would need to add a marketing gimmick to it, market it as a fertilizer or something... like it makes tomato plants produce triple yields, as documented in a triple blind study...then it would sell through the roof

    depends a bit on context, but corporate logos on everything a bit over the top. worse i think then product placement is cultural spin placement. this is the real subliminal. not the blink blink kind. the implied assumption that something is what everyone 'knows' and believes. often as a way to get people to do so, about as subtle as a spike maul to the head, but most people act like the don't notice, and fewer notice enough to be annoyed by it.

    really good commercials are entertaining the first hundred times you see them. still wouldn't trust anything they have to invest that heavily to sell.
    look at it this way: what they're spending on advertising, they're not investing in product quality.

    I buy cow shit all the time for my garden, so I suppose if it’s proven that dog shit is more effective....well why not?

    I would not buy it because I pick it up for free twice a day and deposit it in the nearest trash can.
