A business that sells baldness treatments trips up
The hair-loss clinic pulled its latest TV ad featuring the spin king after the logo on Scrawnie's T-shirt - "No Hair, No Life" - sparked the ire of cancer patients.
The Anti-Cancer Council and former cancer patients complained about the ad.
Complainant and former sufferer Kate Alexander said: "I couldn't bear the idea of someone just being told they were going to lose their hair and then being told that without hair they had no life."
Advanced Hair Studio CEO Stephen Jeffery yesterday confirmed the clinic had its agency remaster the clip, digitally blacking out the offending slogan. The new ad went to air on Wednesday night.

@3:17 - Tell that to the family and friends of the 3000 killed on 911, you moron. I am tired of your BS.

Firstly, Anon 5:45 - the family of the victims of 9 November I hope would realise that terrorism is a threat to life - but the tyrrany of PC (and the overweaning 'security' measures that have been put in place since 9/11) are a serious threat to liberty.
Secondly the ad was never about cancer sufferers... why do people think everything is about them?
Hair loss clinics are really struggling. In the United States in the South, baldness or extremely short hair is the norm and preferred. And the trend is spreading. Just look a the Hollywood stars.
