Dennis Murphy Challenges Freestyle Music
Park
TV Commercial
You may
have seen this on the National News, one of
Transitions members (and current Board Member),
Dennis Murphy, from Surfside Beach, South
Carolina, saw a TV. commercial for a Theme Park
making fun of men who wear "Toupees". Knowing
full well that current "state-of-the-art" hair
replacement is the same has having your own
hair, Murphy challenged the park to a showdown.
Namely, that he would ride the monster roller
coaster with his SensiGraft hair replacement,
that he would not be embarrassed and,
furthermore, he would have fun proving his
point.
Watch the
Challenge
Well,
Dennis proved his point, "people like to
make fun of toupees but with modern hair
replacement you can do anything you
want." The park apologized to Murphy and
says it now understands the difference
between a joke (toupee) and reality (modern SensiGraftTM
hair replacement).
Dennis' Letter to the Park

John Stine Director of Marketing Freestyle Music Park 211 George Bishop Parkway Myrtle Beach, SC 29579
Mr. Stine:
Congratulations on your successful
opening of the new Freestyle Music Park. I have heard good comments from friends
and clients who have been there. I wish you all the best in bringing family
entertainment to the Myrtle Beach area.
I would like to take a moment to
talk about your television spot that you are running. In it you show a family of
four and the father is obviously wearing a very bad, old fashioned hair system
which is almost blown off from the force of the ride. Now I understand the
concept. It’s a great visual; a way of conveying your message in a comical
style. What you might not have considered is the underlying message that you
have sent: if you are a person who has suffered hair loss, the Time Machine and
possibly an overall experience at Freestyle Music Park is not meant for you.
When you poke fun at someone wearing
a hair system, you are actually ridiculing men, women and children who have lost
their hair from a number of different reasons not the least of which are burns,
chemotherapy, lupus, menopause, medication ( like the anti-rejection drugs I
take to maintain my life saving liver transplant ) or the four million Americans
who suffer from Alopecia. I’m sure you where not aware of these tragic facts
when you approved this spot for broadcast.
As for the fact that the Time
machine would blow off a hair system I would like to contend that this could be
false advertising. I have been a hair restoration client myself the past 23
years. I have ridden roller coasters from Coney Island to Cedar Point to Myrtle
Beach. As the owner of a hair restoration studio in Surfside Beach I have every
confidence that today’s cutting edge methods of dealing with hair loss could
withstand the power of even the mighty Time Machine. Therefore I issue you this
fun challenge. Invite me out to ride your coaster and let’s see if my hair can
withstand the force of your ride. Let’s invite the TV stations to film this
challenge. I am sending them all a copy of this letter. You name the day and
time and I’ll be there. I can be reached at 843-238-1089.
This challenge will make winners of
all of us, but especially, it will let hair loss sufferers know that there is
hope for them and they too can enjoy your park and feel total confidence as they
take the front seat in the mighty Time Machine.
