A Hilarious Attempt at Legitimacy Via PhotoShop

This is pretty amusing. There’s a Web site called the “American Anti-Aging Association” that is yet another anti-aging affiliate Web site. I give them credit for coming up with a real sounding name that could lead consumers to believe that they were an independent association making objective reviews of anti-aging products. I’m sure that tactic drives a very high conversion rate.

But I have to draw the line/laugh at their poor PhotoShopping efforts. Take a look at the picture below: is this truly the headquarters of the ‘association’ or does something look a little, um, fishy?

I give them an “A” for effort but an “F” for execution. C’mon guys, if you’re going to paste fake signage onto a picture of a building, at least make it line up properly!

I could also comment on their rather non-professional writing style (“We here at the American Anti-Aging Association . . . ), but I won’t.

    Funny. Fortunately for the AAAA, their target customer is not as discerning as you!

    I dunno Tom, if I can figure it out, I assume most people can . . .

    I tried to find out whether these guyes are legit, and can find nothing. “A group of dermatologists”? Yeah? Well, who are they?
