Thread Name: BS: Advertising abuses
Subject: RE: BS: Advertising abuses
What happened to common sense..why are we so concerned with the patently stupid. Do we really need a law to let us know that KFC is fattening.
I know that advertises of junk food bend the truth a bit but no one os worse than the "medical community" at lying in ads...they do it with stats. When they are fund raising they always tell you hown many people a year die of the particular disease they are bumming for. Each claims it is the leading cause of death each year in Canada and quotes the grim statistics. Last year I added them up just out of curiosity... it turns out that 4 million people died of just four diseases. Talk about misleading advertising.
