1 August 2006


I love how one of our departed interns left me a tube of "HEAD ON" on my desk. If you've watched cable news for any length of time, you'll know what I'm talking about. It's a commercial that appears WAY too frequently in which a woman rubs this "Head On" product on her forehard --apparently in an effort to get rid of a headache --and the announcer says: "Head On. Apply Directly to the Forehead. Head On. Apply Directly to the Forehead. Head On. Apply Directly to the Forehead." The commercial costs like $10 to make -- but it's extremely effective. You can watch it here. It's become quite the phenomenon, even NBC Nightly News did a bit on it last week.

Anyway, I had to laugh when I saw the package on my desk. Then I wondered if I could put "Head On" on my aching legs. (I'm still REALLY sore after yesterday's workout.)

I thought better of it.
