Dennis Murphy recently sent a letter to Freestyle Music Park, taking exception to a television commercial that shows a man and his family--and the man's toupee--blown away by The Time Machine roller coaster at the park.
Murphy, who owns Hair Quarters hair replacement in Surfside Beach, said the commercial doesn't adequately represent what people like him--who have hair replacements like toupees and other means--actually go through.
"The only time (in television and movies) you see someone wearing hair like that is in a disasterous situation," Murphy said.
So, Freestyle Music Park officials invited Murphy to come out and take a spin on the roller coaster, and let him show the park--and anyone else--that it's okay to wear hair and ride the twisting, looping, speeding thrill ride.
"Why should you be harassed or made fun of because you want to do something about (hair loss)?" he said.
Murphy said he wears his hair replacement system all the time, with no problems, and only takes if off a few times a month.
"I guess I tell people they should try being in a business where, if you do your best work possible, nobody ever notices," he said. "We don't get word-of-mouth advertising."
