Subject: BS: Advertising abuses
Toys R Us just agreed to take its ad featuring their giraffe inhaling helium off the air. Then I see a KFC ad claiming that you can lose weight eating FRIED CHICKEN! One idiot sees another idiot and exclaims "You've lost weight (or something similar)!" Said idiot replies "I eat fried chicken." He is sitting their with a big bucket of greasy KFC. Then they show the protein and carb counts. The implication is that like Jarrod of Subway fame, you too can lose weight only in a semi- Atkins way with fried chicken. How do they get away with this crap?
