Opinion Carey sinks to new low.

[Espio]

Now we all know that Wayne has zero integrity, history confirms the essence of his being.
As low as I rate Carey as a human being he has plunged to new lows with his current ad campaign leveraging “men’s health” alongside another hair product for the follically challenged.
Men’s health is a serious and growing concern in society and I do not doubt that for some thinning hair can have a personal impact.
I do think using a public health issue for personal gain stinks.

TLDR
Carey shill, proves he is a crap human.

Hmm I don’t think it’s exactly a new low for him.

Thing is, Wayne’s issues are well known - and I would assume he is promoting this from a ‘good space’ in his personal well being - so he’d be coming from the angle that he’s got his life back together, there is hope etc

Whether that is intrinsically linked to hair loss is probably debatable but it’s not like he’s got his mug on a DV awareness advert.

Wayne got a ‘redemption arch’ that we are unlikely to see ever again, given how much the climate has changed in the last 5 years - his status as a champion of the game no doubt helped (like Shane Warne before him) but it’s not surprising to see him cashing on his ‘repaired reputation’ (and seemingly, hair line).

Nowhere near a new low for Wayne, he has done far, far worse

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

I'm not sure this is going to rise to the level of outrage you are looking for.

 

[Taylor]

He should be a spokesperson for Swisse given how hard he could party.

"An active lifestyle can be hard on your body, Swisse live like you love it."

 

[Engimal v3]

Yes, far worse that ****ing your best mate's wife or glassing a lady. Those were all fine with me, but this is a step too far.

 

[Rockford]

He smashed a wine glass into a woman's face. This is probably not a new low for him, but still low.

Considering a lot of men are very self-conscious about hair loss (just look at the size of the industry) and it can lead to a huge drop in self-esteem, I'd say there is a very direct link between hair loss and mental health for a lot of men.

Not sure why you're outraged by this OP, perhaps you meant to post this on Twitter instead.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Those ads are shocking but nowhere near on the same rage level inducers from AHM Medical Insurance which are stinking up Kayo Sports

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

For Carey the person, I’d actually consider this a peak.

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

Id say blokes like Nathan Brown, Billy Brownless, Daisy Thomas, etc who contribute to all the sports betting bullshit on TV are doing far worse to society than Wayne Carey right at this moment in time.

As I get older, I am learning to care less about things that aren't worth the worry.

This is one of those things.

 

[Grrr]

Makes a nonsense post and then disappears. At least he got to start a thread.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Where have you been OP, people use serious human issues to sell products all the time, and they do it far more unethically than this. Capitalism is truly shameless. I don't blame Carey for participating in it, I blame how commercialised our society is. At least he isn't glassing people anymore (that I know of).

Jeez. Sorry I don’t live here.

I (opinion) didn’t like the fact that the ads lean heavily into a hugely important public health issue.
It is fine if you don’t agree.
I see it akin to if Ricky Ponting advertised scented candles and the entire ad was about mental health. Yes there may be a tenuous link to well-being.
Opportunistic and disingenuous in my opinion. You may choose to think WC is doing this for the betterment of his fellow man. It’s not my view but you are entitled to yours.

I mean Jordan De Goey is literally being charged with sexual assault and the media still tries to pump him up be a superstar and the AFL/Collingwood basically haven’t said a word on the topic. Apparently they just skip the redemption arc these days and go straight into pretending the problem never existed.

This thread reminds me of when Andrew Walker wore a hat.

Yes that is advertising in general.

 

[Kangapirate]

I thought he had actually done something again when i opened this.

 

[iluvparis]

Not going to lie - this is not what I had expected him to have done when I clicked on the thread title.
