Ad that cites 'anecdotal' evidence as proof it works (AAR ad)
Sorry, but in my book, this has to be the worst ad ever.

It reminds me of a tiny ad in Playboy many years ago which was selling a erectile dysfunction cream, which they actually called 'genuine placebo cream'. It recommended massaging it into the affected area.

Geez, I hope no liberals buy that crap. It's embarassing to even have it advertised on AAR. I can see them selling TONS of that product on Rush. Anecdotal evidence is the only kind most of them accept.

1. I always thought
that the radio ads on AAR were sold by the local stations. (the boston area station is even advertising for more salespeople)

I do find it amusing that the stations that carry AAR are owned by clearchannel.
