Panasonic Flip N’ Style Hair Dryer

This ad is absolutely ridiculous. Why on earth did they think it was a good idea to market a hair dryer using an image of a woman without any hair? It just seems like a terrible marketing choice, why not actually showcase the results the product can produce instead?

Here’s another really bizarre choice: marketing a razor with an ad featuring a baby. Why? Maybe they thought it was a good way to market that their “safety razor” is so safe, you can even use it on a baby? It’s just odd, and we really don’t think that this would make the cut today.
