Waste of Money??

My random muse of the day...

So listening to the radio on the way home from work today I heard an ad for a place offering a surgical implant for people who are deaf or nearly deaf that could dramatically improve their hearing...

Wait a second...that's right...IT WAS ON THE RADIO!!!!  WHAT!!!!!?????

Now I understand that there are plenty of people who can hear the ad and think to themselves that Aunt Bertha could really use that surgery so they don't have to yell at her to the point where the neighbors call the cops on them for elderly abuse....

But I really think that they are missing their true target audience by putting an ad in the one form of media that the people they are trying to help will NEVER use!  This would be akin to someone putting an ad in a regular print magazine for a revolutionary new device that allows blind people to see...dumb asses...

Ah America...ah America...land of the free and home to the mentally retarded ad executives!!
