Loud 'N Clear




Well I just saw this completely absurd commercial and would like to point out just how ridiculous it is:

1) This 'sound amplifier' (aka hearing aid) looks exactly like a bluetooth headset. There are already enough complaints about people using bluetooths, looking like cyborgs. Whenever someone doesn't take their bluetooth off at a social setting, it generally pisses people off, because, well, it's rude. Just try not looking awkward while wearing Loud N' Clear at bingo, a party, a card game, church or IN BED.
 
2) 'Turns ordinary hearing into extraordinary hearing!' Even though the woman could not hear what the trump suit was was from the man sitting directly next to her. 

3) 'Can hear conversations from across the street!' OK this is definitely where the commercial gets creepy. First, a woman overhears her neighbors from across the street. Then, the mother listens to her kids from across the playground. Granted the second example might somehow be acceptable, the first absolutely is not. 

4) 'Ever wonder what people are saying when you can't hear them? With Loud N' Clear, you can discreetly listen in.' Not much I can really say besides creepy. 

5) 'Lets you hear the wildlife before they hear you.' Well I hope you don't get mauled by a bear you hearing-aid reject freak.
