A pill to make me focus? Uh, what?
What do those pills do?
Help me focus! Great! I need..uh.. to.. uh..

There’s a “doctor” who never explains what his credentials are, pills that seem to target hypochondriacs, and results that could probably be psychosomatic. The demon scourge of radio and TV advertising has come to roost its earthly form in the form of these horrible commercials for Focus Factor.

WATCH and see people yearning to focus. LISTEN to testimonials as compelling as “It’s FREE? Well it’s GOT to be good.” WITNESS your brain try to eat itself as you ask, did this commercial just invent a problem you now think you might have and offer you a cure in just under sixty seconds?

The most terrifying aspect of this commercial is that it probably really does make people buy the product.
