I was surprised and bemused by an ad I saw on TV a few days ago featuring Lee Majors. We all know Lee Majors as "Colonel Steve Austin" the Six Million Dollar Man. But now it seems those memories are merely fodder for Majors to tout a new health product, the "The Lee Majors Rechargeable Bionic Hearing Aid ".
Here's a link with more on this modern medical marvel.
I don't mean to scoff. This is a serious issue for many people, but it's very weird indeed for fiction and reality to blend in such a way. It's like those TV doctors but stranger still. Because an actor played a character who gets high-tech implants which enhance his human capabilities, we should take real medical advice from him? Besides wasn't it the Bionic Woman who had the super hearing?
Rip Off
