2. Who is
Dr Greg Cynamon?

Since I've never heard of him, I suppose it wouldn't matter to me.

He wants to tell you not to get on the scales,just take these pills and follow their program, and you'll SEE the weight come off.

5. I must not watch enough television.
Never saw him. Or is he simply a local guy?

7. If You Have Cable or Satellite TV....
...there's a Corti-Slim commercial during nearly every commercial break on channels such as Animal Planet and TLC.

8. And USA and Discovery Health and TNT...
We devotees of "Law & Order" reruns and medical shows are being brainwashed.

11. Thankfully, Our Remote Has a "Mute" Button
We generally press it, and then say incredibly nasty things about Dr. Cynamon. The same way that I usually have a few verbal "gems" for those two loser women who show up on ABC Family every weeknight in between "Whose Line is It Anyway?" and "The 700 Club".

12. Who are the two loser women?
And we Tivo most of the shows we watch, then watch them at our leisure. Tivo is fab. If you can get it, do... it's better than mute. Fast forward through ALL the commercials! :bounce:

14. They're Plugging Some Christian Program on ABC Family
A pair of "Stepford Wife" types, or "700 Club" wannabees.

17. I have cable and I watch those two
channels, but I almost always channel surf during commercials. so obviously I miss a lot of what's important to American early 21st century culture.

10. It's all over Air America Radio, too.
I can only listen now in my car. I used to listen at work, but the commercials are so heinous I can't stand it.

13. There's an Even Creepier Commercial on Air America Radio
For Prosilon - a male enhancement pill. First you have a women using sultry inflections to talk about how well the pill works. Then you hear what sounds like a 16-year-old girl giving the phone number.

4. I've given this some more thought
I think that the entire populations of Green Bay and Amarillo should sue him for even making it sound like they were all in need of his diet plan, and then should all kick his ass.

6. Those ads are so stupid and irritating
The point is over 100,000 not only ordered Corti Slim once, they ordered it again! Out of how many intiial orders, Dr. Greg??????? What percentage? Those ads are on constantly and I read that the FDA is investigating them )not that this FDA would do anything to protect the public)

15. That's what's so stupid about the current ads.
100,000 reorders is not a lot.
