Grow, Tall.

I was driving around getting lunch today, listening to ESPN Radio, and this commercial comes on. It has a man and a woman talking and the man is speaking about a concern of his. Apparently he is worried that his son is not going to be tall. The woman then proceeds to advise him of this product called Height-Grow that will help his child grow to his full potential AND with no prescription! The man is amazed and the ad goes on to give specifics of Height-Grow. They say it is an all natural supplement for people ages 12-20 and will help the increase how tall they will grow.

I mean come on. I can’t believe they didn’t even throw a guarantee at the end saying “guaranteed you child will grow taller or your money back”. What child is not getting taller aged 12-20. 2nd, since when did we become a nation that idolizes tall people. I’m considered tall, but I haven’t noticed ever getting special or better treatment from anyone. If anything I have to do more work to unscrew lightbulbs and reach things way up high. Finally, if this stuff even works, what does it do for kids who don’t hit their growth spurt till late in the teenage years. I was below average height until I was a Junior in HS. If my parents fed me this stuff when I was 12, I could have been one massively tall freak.

-Just wanted to comment on that.

–with any luck and blessing from the shipping gods I will have a 360 tomorrow.
