And if you'd followed this with testimonials from these "other people," it might have worked.

It doesn't even quite make sense - who's to say that the other people invoked actually have anything new to say? In any event, given that this is the entire ad, does this read as anything other than coy? And not in a good way.

I don't like to describe myself, I like when other people speak about me... this way you can always discover something new.
