I don't mind the company trying to find a good way to sell their products, because that is what they do. For them, it's like throwing a dart at the board and hoping they hit the target. This one touched a nerve instead. They actually had a better ad that I saw in MarieClaire, where they had pictures of lots of different, "normal" women with different hairstyles. At the bottom, the text read, "None of these women are hair models. Because neither are you." Then you see that they're selling shampoo and conditioner at the bottom. Now that's a good ad - clear, distinct message that knows its audience.

I get really irritated by men like Roeper who somehow seem to think the world owes them hot women, when a)they haven't done jack shit to earn it and b)they still seem to believe that "can't help it; just a man" is a legitimate excuse for acting like a jackass. Did you read his "apology"? It was more like "I'm sorry your life sucks" than even a wishy-washy "I'm sorry I offended you."
