Bald Wingman (Rogaine ad)

[Helix]

Colored chinos, oversized oxford shirt buttoned all the way up and of course a pencil in a front pocket. Come on guys...nerdy outfit, nerdy body language,nerdy smile...If baldness is really that inferior they woudn't have to use all this other cues to prove the point.

It's bad, but it's not that bad.

Oh come on, this degeneracy today in society is going on my nerves. I understand the movement about racism. After all you can not change it, there are no differences except visually.


On the other hand we have fatacceptance movement with their blabbering about ' muh genetics, accept them " while pounding the 4 litres of Cola daily and everyone going rampant about #sexism #bodypositive #effyourbeautystandards.


It's not like these women are getting attention from bunch of males ( which in reverse rarely happens even with male models ). Yet we are openly demolished for something that was once an evolutionary advantage, genetic, hardly changeable, nonthreatening, nonlethal physically, health visual condition, get scrutinized for it.


What the fawk am I supposed to be scrutinized ? Fatness causes a wide range of problems, and I should celebrate the laziness ? Yes, there are certain cases of people having trouble regulating their weight but majority are lazy fuks.



This is disgusting.




Put a black man instead of a baldy. Say it " It's bad, but it's not that bad. "

Put a (fat) (wo)man instead of a baldy. Say it " It's bad , but it's not that bad. "

What I meant was that being bald is not as bad as this ad is trying to portray.

The ad itself is awfuly insensitive though.

I wouldn't mind the commercial IF ROGAIN ACTUALLY WORKED. But it doesn't for most people, and certainly regrow a significant amount of hair in most responders. So not only are they poking fun at their target audience, they aren't even offering a treatment that will do them any good. I hope bimotoprost works and puts minoxidil out of business, but unfortunately that doesn't look like the case.

They are probably just trying to scrape whatever money they still can until the next viable treatment comes, we've honestly never been closer and BIM is a real possibility to be the successor of rogaine, i.e something that isn't a cure but is much more effective.

Rogaine is useless, it helps give volume to the hair and maybe gives regrowth to 10% that use it, 90% of the time it doesnt do anything for people. Usually only works for slow hair loss sufferers, never aggressive.

Allergan/Actavis is continuing to pursue Bim; they stated this in their quarterly report.

Within 10 years (hopefully a lot sooner), that will become the case for hair. Take a pill or rub foam in your hair once per day starting at an early age and everyone will be able to enjoy full and thick hair - side effect free - for life, assuming you remain compliant. Because AGA is SO common (though to varying degrees), this will become standard for EVERYONE (even people that were just going to progress to a thick NW1.5 will want to keep their NW0 - that, and once any recession begins, no one initially knows if they're going to stop at NW1.5 or progress to NW7). Picking up hair foam or pills will be like picking up toothpaste at the grocery store. There will be no stigma attached to it because everyone will do it - in fact, it will be weird not to - like going to someone's house and them not having toothpaste. And people that do progress despite medication or due to non-compliance, will be able to go to a hair specialist and have everything fixed - akin to someone who goes to the dentist for cavities.

They need to hurry up with that shyt because I'm getting thin up there

We need to cross post this to wider forums and spread this message. This is disgusting.

So that more people can laugh at us?

No it needs to become a protected class for anti-discrimination, even for baldness the last allowable discrimination this ad crosses the line.

Will only happen if it were women. Take Sharon Osbourne for example, she laughed for an entire segment about a mans penis being cut off and when forced to apologize she still could barely contain herself from laughter. She kept her job. John Inverdale made a remark about a female tennis player being ugly and he got fired.

I think you need to tackle misandry first.

What a vile advertisement.

[StayThick]

Guys, I still don't get it...

You don't think society views balding men like the slick cueball dude in this video this way?

You don't think majority women look at bald men compared to those with hair this way?

Clearly, the ad is offensive to everyone on here because (not a shocker) we are all crying about it on a forum for balding dudes, but come on! This is just pointing the obvious while making a joke of it all. It's no different from your co-worker Sally telling her girlfriend after you leave the lunch room how bald and unattractive you are. Guess what? This happens across the world every day. Being bald is a joke, just most don't throw it in your face everyday. That's why I'm so insecure about my hair. I'm a realist. I hear and know what goes on in life that's why I look at this video and simply shake my head saying...this is true.

This is reality people. Everyone is just flaring their arms up because they are poking fun about being bald in the open and making the obvious, at least to me, even more obvious for those that live in a cave.

This is why we need a cure and better treatments. Baldness is nothing but a joke and a huge punchline in all facets of life. Work, socially, Hollywood, you name it.

It's embarrassing, confidence destroying, and a god damn curse.

[Notcoolanymore]

Yeah even fat asses get sympathy for being lazy slobs stuffing their faces with junk food. But being genetically gimped with male pattern baldness is openly humiliated.

I was reading through some of the comments on the video and let me guess, your Youtube user name is Thomas Anderson right?
