Lately, I've been noticing the types of advertisements on the MySpace website and analyzing the demographics they appeal to. The ad that catches my attention reads "21 and overweight? Try the recommended diet for 21 year olds." In the just top four inches of the page alone, I see three bare bellies, and of course all three are toned, tan, and sporting a belly ring.
BEHOLD! I refresh the page and see the same words "21 and overweight?" but this time, followed by "Try the recommended diet for 22 year olds," (fools!) as if there is a diet that would be more appealing or beneficial to me if I were just another year older. Is there actually a "diet for 21 year olds" that wouldn't work as well for a woman in her late forties? What kind of logic is this?
When I finally do click on this oh-so-inviting link, I arrive at Emily's Fat Loss Blog at emilysweightloss.com. Apparently, if you act within ten minutes, you get a bottle of both Acai Supreme and TriSlim--both products boasting "amazing free trials with a full money-back guarantee," which raises the question "What money would I be getting back if this were truly free," right?
At any rate, the bottom line in my critique of this ad is questioning MySpace's knowledge of my age, if they track the millions of MySpace members in this way and advertise to them accordingly.... what do you think?
