Skin cream certainly has come a long way

We’ve all gotten pretty jaded by the claims of some major Web advertisers, like those miracle-working mortgage guys for whom no fine print is too small. But this wrinkle-cream banner ad, currently in rotation on MSNBC.com, is one of the most preposterous things I’ve ever seen on a reputable site. And while I’m not going to do the advertiser the honor of linking to their home page, I will say the evidence shown there is considerably more believable than this ad, which seems to suggest you can go from looking 149 to 29 in a few short minutes.
