    Offensive hairloss commercial.

    Don't know if you guys have already seen this commerical. I am dissapointed with Merk. This commerical is kind of offensive and just sad.

    I always thought it was snake oil that preyed on insecurities.

    Its kind of hurtful too.

        They are basically trying to into everyones head that bald men are unattractive. Thats just nasty.

        There might be a little truth to it, but did you really have to put it this way?

            LOLOL Try going on the website on the video you get this message:

            "Merck: Thank you for visiting our site, which is currently unavailable."


            Obviously something to do with all the law suits they're getting. And this video is over 2 years old.

              Amen to that, just plane crazy. Maybe they could make a sequel, where the guy meets a smoking hot girl, and when they wants to get freaky, and she drop the pant's, she is an eunuch, and then state: "she thinks the same about your when the artificial hormones f..... you up" :-)

                This commercial is actually quite sickening.

                TBH I find it repulsive how this advertisement tries to fool (insecure) balding people that a man with a receding hairline or going bald is the same and just as ugly as a bald or balding woman. Which is false.

                Even though I grant you that men going bald will make them less attractive, a woman going bald is basically the end of her social life. There is absolutely no culture or society that accepts bald women. Orthodox Jews and Islamic women even have to hide their hair because according to them it's the essence of attractiveness and beauty.

                These advertisers deserve a punch in the kidneys.

If you ever wanted to get that 10/10 trophy wife you can just about forget it unless you have a one-in-a-billion personality, confidence, and wealth.
                    Depends on the man.

                    Pierce brosnan looks good,

                        Trophy wives are for older men in their 40's - you're not even old, or maybe you are, either way quit your whining will you.

                          I think a bald women may have a certain appeal. But a balding guy is just so sad and depressing.

                          There is a little truth to this commercial. But did they have to put it this way. They could have easily focused on something else like looking youthful. I mean the positive aspects of having hair rather than the negative if loosing them.

                          But there is the FDA, and the drug has been around for 20yrs. This commercial is really bad but your comparison is a little off.

                            I actually found it funny, and wasn't hurt by it. I think you guys are upset that it's Propecia doing this, otherwise you probably wouldn't have cared if it was just a random Beer commercial.

                              People on here are hyper sensitive while also being extremely aggressive. Well, that's pretty much how it is on most Internet forums.
