Wingnut Shampoo

Republican shampoo   :    http://mariopiperni.com/

I might be taking in too much politics.

I was washing my hair last night and having a mini-debate with myself as to whether I should do the Rinse and Repeat thing as per the instructions on the back of the shampoo bottle. I’m not sure why I still have these silly moments of doubt about this issue. In pure defiance to the Mad Men that control so much of our daily lives, I stopped the ‘Repeat’ part of my shampooing ritual about 20 years ago. I was washing my hair daily, so I refused to believe that the repeat cycle contributed anything to my overall hygiene. And yet, every now and then, something (my Catholic upbringing maybe? I don’t know…what does the Bible say about hair?) would kick in and I’d consider the possibility that I might be wrong about Repeat and therefore doing an injustice to my body.

Dumb, I know. Is there a Shampoo Anonymous out there?

So what does any of this have to do with politics? Nothing at all, except that as I reread the back label of my shampoo bottle last night, the above illustration started taking shape in whatever part of my strange mind responsible for linking two totally unconnected thoughts.

Anyhow, that’s the story on how Wingnut Shampoo came to be.

    That shampoo thing hit the advertising industry, I think sometime in the early to mid ’60′s…in some college advertising courses it was deemed one of the smartest lines ever created at that time…a shampoo manufacture only wants to sell more shampoo…so advertise it as good for your hair…makes sense…I guess…

    BUT…your adaptation of it is right spot on…!!!…it was great…!!!…Keep ‘em comin’ Mario…

    Mario, you have a devious mind. I like that in a person!
    Well done, not only the text (excellent!) but also and especially the graphics.

    Mario,

    Shampooing your hair on a daily can be damaging to your hair. Three time a week is usually the healthiest practice.

    As far as watching Fox News; that practice is damaging to your brain if you watch it at all.

    The best you’ve done for a while, love it!

    Republipoo Shampoo can cause permanent blindness if you should attempt to open your eyes to the truth!

    Mario Mario Mario. I’m saddened you forgot to mention step 1. Remove “Tin Foil Hat”

  7. esd, esd, esd…are you not aware that wingnuts never remove their tin foil hats? They simply shampoo around the hats.

  8. I just love it, Mario!

    How do you do it?

  9. A bit of artistic flair and a warped mind helps a lot.
