I was on another forum when I came across this thread talking about the recent Dr. Miracle ad campaign: http://www.nappturality.com/index.php?showtopic=73611&hl=Dr\.+Miracle.
I have to admit, I have never seriously fantasized about smacking anyone, until I saw these ads. We all know that a lot hair care companies that market black hair products do not really care about the hair of black hair and insult our intelligence with their mispelled products names (i.e. "Doo Gro").
But these Dr. Miracle ads are the worst I've ever seen. The ads blantantly degrade those with natural hair. And a bad hair contest they held in Chicago offered a box of their new no-lye relaxer to the first 1,000 contestants . The white, male company president cheesed and held up a comb next to the winner (who was rocking a nice blow-out).
Please do not buy products from this company, if only on principle.
The ads run in Essence magazine (so I heard).
Man, seeing this just hurts my heart . Does this upset you as much as it does me?
Here are some links to the ads (I hope they work):

P.S.
This is the first time I've ever started a thread. I apologize for any ettiquette blunders.
