I watch a ton of TV and I don't think I've ever seen that commercial...is it a regional thing?

That commercial is VERY annoying, and a station playing it just guaranteed that I'm changing the channel.

Yeah I've never seen this either...

Might be why I've never seen it...I think all the cable news networks are garbage and I don't watch them...

Whoever thought up of this commercial needs to stab themselves repeatedly with a spork.

Are you sure these headaches are not directly related to the commercial? Talk about artificially creating a demand for your product. Pure marketing genius.
QFT.

I think I'll invest in some anti-seizure medicine, then make some commercials for the product with a dizzying array of psychedelic screen flashes. :laugh:

The very fact that this thread exists is proof that their advertising campaign is working great. As for myself, I do not watch tv at home, so I never see it unless I'm somewhere else.

According to wikipedia, that 'active' ingredient in head-on is...NOTHING AT ALL. It's a 'homeopathic' remedy, which means the effect is purely psychological. Essentially, head on is a stick of wax you rub on your forehead. The marketing convinces you that it'll work better than a birthday candle, so you beilieve it and feel better.
