Wow! Slap me in the face and call me stupid

Email Article My hotmail email account recently posted an advertisement from this company. Out of the corner of my eye (I usually deliberately ignore these ads) the stupidity of this one caught my eye. It was an image that kept transitioning from one image to the other. And the ad next to it said, "When you look good, life is good." That's interesting enough! The equally interesting truth statement was that regimen, their product, could make you look good, and hence give you the good life. As a display of what this product could do, the transitioning image was showing a before and after highlighting their product. Are you ready to see the images?
Before
After
And then, in case there was one idiot out there who actually believed this, I really really appreciated their INCREDIBLY SMALL AND ILLEGIBLE disclaimer at the bottom of the image (and blurry I might add)
Can you read that? Yeah, you have to really strain. It says "Dramatized Imagery not actual results" Well thank you Sherlock Holmes!
People: your television has an agenda! More things, better looks, better life.
Jesus has an agenda: "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me. For in anyone would save his life, he will lose it. But whoever loses his life for my sake and for the sake of the Gospel will save it."
