The right hair part on men is often used in advertisements to reinforce a negative impression of the man in question. The latest is the Geico Commercial:
From the marketmenot.com website, this description: A father and son are hanging out, the son playing video games, the father using his tablet. “Huh, 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance.” The son replies “Everybody knows that.” The dad says “Well, did you know that Pinocchio was a bad motivational speaker?” We cut to Pinocchio giving a motivational speech to a group of people. “I look around this room, and I see nothing but untapped potential.” Pinocchio points to a man in the crowd “You have potential!” Pinocchio’s nose starts to grow because he’s lying. “You have… oh boy.” The man he pointed to lowers his head, now depressed that he knows he has no potential.
So how is it that he can just point to this guy in the crowd and everyone knows he is lying when he says he has potential? How bout that right hair part. Check it out backwards – see how the guy’s image looks backwards – its not so immediately obvious that he wouldn’t have potential
