Barack Obama Using One Time Adversary Bill Clinton As A Constant Reference In Campaign Ads



 Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama of the Democrat party, has been using former President Bill Clinton, in campaign ads he has paid large sums of money to have in heavy rotation on television networks and online. The public is seeing more of Clinton than Obama in the final weeks leading up to the 2012 presidential election.


Mitt Romney

This is ironic, as during the 2008 Presidential election, Obama and Clinton insulted each other, with the latter stating the former was not experienced enough for office, opting to promote his wife, then candidate, Hillary Clinton instead.

This year, Clinton also commended President Obama's rival, Mitt Romney, as a capable and successful business man, who is the former governor of the state of Massachusetts, with years of governing experience. What Clinton stated about Romney, a Republican, was more complimentary. Furthermore, Clinton is more like Romney in terms of his political career, than Obama, as the former president was also a governor, who had success with the economy.

Justin Bieber And Katy Perry's Proactiv Ads Banned In Britain For False Advertising


Justin Bieber and Katy Perry in Proactiv ad. Oddly enough, Bieber is the prettier of the two (LOL).

Commercials by Proactiv skincare that feature pop stars, Justin Bieber and Katy Perry, have been banned in Britain as false and misleading. British consumer agency the Advertising Standards Authority stated, "We noted the ads were targeted at a UK audience and that the UK Proactiv products had a different active ingredient to the U.S. version. In that context, we therefore considered the claims of continued use had not been substantiated. We concluded that the ads were misleading. The ads must not appear again in their current form."

I've never tried Proactiv, as I don't have acne (I do have allergies and hypoallergenic skin, though). Some state Proactiv works, but others say no. Some celebrities that claim to use Proactiv still have noticeably blemished skin. I have read many consumer comments on the product and a general theme is when you stop using Proactiv, one's skin problems come back with a vengeance.
