Customer 1: “When I decided to lose the weight, finding a weight loss program that worked
with the natural rhythms of my body seemed hopeless. All that changed when I discovered this
brand-new medical miracle. [Holds up a bottle of pills] Now, with just one pill a day, I am on the
path to a slimmer self -- naturally!”
Narrator: Did you know that your body holds its own weight-loss secret? Humans sluff off
30,000 to 40,000 skin cells every minute. That’s almost 9 pounds of skin a year!
Scientists realized that our bodies lose weight naturally with every dead cell… the trouble is
they keep growing back. So we at Flayed created a drug that prevents the production of new cells
and allows your body to lose weight naturally.
Customer 1: [Eating pizza in a picturesque place] “With Flayed, I get to eat all my favorite
foods without any extra workout routines.”
Customer 2: [In a sunny field or something] “I started on Flayed two months ago, and my skin
is looking rosier every day!”
Customer 1: “It might not be a lose-weight-fast schtick, but the results are guaranteed and it
gives me something to look forward to.”
Narrator: And weight loss is just one of Flayed’s many benefits. Just ask renowned
dermatologist Dr. Tyson!
Dr: “Cancerous cells are often the result of an error in mitosis, so I suppose one could argue that
impeding the generation of new epidermic tissues technically reduces one’s risk of skin cancer,
but --” [cut to next clip]
Narrator: That’s right, scientists at Flayed have altogether eliminated your epidermis’ ability to
undergo mitosis.
Customer 2: No skin, no skin cancer!
[Customer 2 absent-mindedly scratches their shoulder, which starts gushing blood. Customer 2
looks horrified. Video cuts to next clip]
Narrator: Watch your freckles vanish within a month! … Say no to wrinkles!
[Slow-motion video of Customers 1 and 2 splashing their faces with water and taking off layers
of skin in the process]
Narrator: You can rest assured that there will be less of you, or your money back! When you
see the results, you’ll beg to pay an arm and a leg, but at just $99/month, it’s no skin off your
nose! Order today for free shipping, plus a free vial of Flayd’s sister product, Vivisect: liberate
