“Your Hair Will Save Lives”

I’m skeptical on oh so many counts of the slogan, “Your Hair Will Save Lives” but it ranks as one of the all-time markets in everything examples. Don’t you want your hair to be used to sop up the gulf oil spill? Now you can with the help of the Hair Cuttery and Fed Ex. They pledge “From the floor to the shore in just days.” Not sure if it will actually do any soaking. Not sure what flavor of lives will be saved. But it’s a heck of a marketing ploy no matter what.
