This ad appeared in the Friday, October 17, 2008 print edition of the Journal Times. Page 3A, in the center, small, 2 x 3-1/2" ad. Maybe it, or a variation, has appeared there for some time. I don't know. But for some reason, it caught my eye today.When I first read the copy, I couldn't believe it. What the...? Anyway, I visited Thera-Gesic's site, and it seems normal enough: http://www.thera-gesic.com/, so I don't know what's up with their print ad, but the tone seems a little off to me. I mean, I'm not sure that beating off would-be car burglars is the best way to advertise pain relief results, even if it is done jokingly. Or is it? It's not that I'm offended - I guess I just don't get it.

Maybe it's aimed at the elderly vigilante segment of the market.
That is so funny! It has to be a spoof. Sure got your attention. What are you doing reading that rag anyway? ;o
The computer monitor doesn't fit onto my lap when I'm on the toilet.
