YEAH RIGHT: Herbal Essences

Whilst chilling at the end of the day I saw an ad on TV. An ad that made me laugh out loud and at the end of the ad exclaim YEAH RIGHT.

The ad was for Herbal Essences Rain Forest Flowers

THE AD:
Lots of gorgeous lady on camera, lots of lovely foliage and eden-like settings, lots of love generally for all things natural.

MY INTERPRETATION:
Whether they intended it or not the way I percieved the ad left me with the feeling that if I use this shampoo I will somehow be doing good for the planet.

THE PRODUCT:
A search on the Household Products Database confirmed that:
