Anyone seen this Just For Men "Touch of Grey" commercial?
The one that says "The generation that swore it would never get old, didn't"?
What a sorry-ass gimmick. Tell people anything & they'll eat it up.
"Oh honey, did you hear that??? Our generation never got old. I better get some of that crap to put in my hair because for some damn reason I look like Grandpa Simpson!!!"
And what about these two pathetic old farts?
I can't figure out which of these two is more pitiable. It's bad enough the rickety old man is pretending to be a rock-n-roll star when he can barely stand up straight from arthritis, but look how the old hag he's with is dressed!!!! Is that a leather mini skirt???? Who do they think they're kidding??????? They must have a 5 gallon bucket of makeup on their faces between the two of them. I bet each wrinkle took about a pound of spackle. I wonder if her boobs are slappin against her stomach in time to the music.
I wonder if they have an inkling of an idea how silly they look.
These two should be rockin out with the "Viva Viagra" band.
Unbelievable.

This commercial was just on my TV! This is one of those blantantly patronizing commericals that would kinda tick me off if I was a Boomer.

It's on mine right now too!!!
It's just so insulting to one's intelligence & worse, a blatant attempt to capitalize on some people's memories of a very unique time that they were fortunate enough to have lived through.

You'd think at least one of the guys in the commercial should look like this:

First of all, Jimbo, you just crack me up!! secondly, I hate all these asinine anti aging ads! Why the hell are' people buying this crap, you can keep fit eat right etc. but it does not change your age. dipping your head in shoe polish and dressing like a skank WILL NOT CHANGE IT!

I'd probably actually like that guy.... (the clown)
Those jerks in the JFM ads are idiots.
I guess the message is, "Use Just For Men & you'll.... "
suddenly find yourself on the beach somewhere attempting to surf even though you probably have never surfed before, but at least after you drown you'll look a little more youthful when they pull your lifeless body out of the surf.
or....
suddenly find yourself on a basketball court with a bunch of young guys who run circles around you, laughing amongst themselves & making a joke out of you as they drive their knees & elbows into you everytime you make a wheezing attempt to "take it to the hoop", which you never could actually do anyway even when you were their age.
or.....
suddenly find yourself on stage pretending to play in a rock band next to your tambourine shaking middle aged Botox queen "girlfriend" in a leather mini skirt, who's starved herself thin for the past decade because like you, she can't accept the fact that people age, & like you she doesn't actually possess any musical ability, which only occurred to you both as the sudden cacophony of boo's, empty beer bottles & shouts of "Get off the stage!!! You SUCK!!!!" began flying at you.
or.......
maybe you'll just sit on your ass reading the paper & watching TV like you always do, but you'll be doing it with slightly darker hair.
Just For Men..... the miracle cure for getting old.

How about the one where the two little girls are hesitant and challening one another, "You tell em, NO YOU!" and so on.
At first I was anticipating some sappy travel ad or even something from the Mormons (what happened to those sweet, cheesy mormon ads anyway?) and it was the daughters deciding the old, grey dad needs some help getting a new mommy with a coloring. What the hell... |

That's Wavy Gravy. He's 72. A nice Just for Men dye job might make him look 67.

A minor celebrity, but famous enough to have his own flavor of Ben & Jerry's ice cream named after him.
I wonder if he gets royalties?

Now, I've never used the HAIR stuff, buuuut...
I actually (ONCE) used some of the 'grey-away', on my beard, back when I could grow a nice one.
Did it to surpise for MissyDWolf on our anniversary, before I was to take her out to dinner, a few years back. Kind of meant it as a 'turn back the clock'-style joke.
Went HORRIBLY wrong.
The beard came out the perfect shade of sh*t-brown, which didn't match my hair, or anything I could wear.
Couldn't even shave the color off unless I took the top layer of skin, too.
We ended up 'ordering out' - she answered the door.
I'm not an artist; think you need to be, to use that stuff if only because you simply can't stand yourself as you are, or if it is Halloween.

Last time I ever drink anything while reading CIH! I almost spit Coke right at the computer screen reading the OP. The "boobs slappin" and the "Viva Viagra" band. |

I hate that one the most. They are not old enough to buy that type of product. I am 27 and have a few gray hairs. When I have a full head of gray, I am not going to color it. I am not ashamed of it neither The blond woman on the other commercial is hot. |

Yeah, because she's having hot flashes.
It's menopause.

The jerk-offs in that commercial are the type who were NEVER HIP!
Now they're just lame-ass dickbags. My hair, what's left of it under my chef's hat, is a wonderful salt and pepper gray. And even it were pure white I'd NEVER COLOUR IT! I fuking HATE YUPPIES! |

The dickweed pretending to play the guitar looks like he's wearing dentures in that close up.

Grey hair is so sexy! Why does it have to signal "decrepitude"? Steve Martin turned grey at a very young age and I've wanted to jump on him for over 30 years now.

I can't even tell what color my hair is these days. Kinda gray, kinda brown, kinda gold. I like it, though. Some girl at the bank a few years ago asked me "how I got my hair that color". I just said "I got old."
I am kinda glad that along with turning gray (or whatever), my hair didn't get all pubic-y, as happens to some people.

Their mantra during their youth used to be "Trust no one over 30". Then when they turned older they spun around and said "never trust anyone under 30". Now that a number of the next generation are over thirty themselves, they have have to go back to attacking the really old.
