What if things were advertised 'honestly'

[Endeavour]

Its like when they advertise steam cleaners on those shopping channels and demonstrate how effectively they clean burnt on food from a cooker hob (using their magic dilute gravy browning solution for demonstration purposes).


Kindest regards

The Nike adds where people run up walls and jump from roof to roof, I need some of those. I'm more likely to run into a wall than up one.
They should have their sports star standing there wearing Nike with a big grin and say those idiots just paid me a mil to stand here in these clothes.

what about the hotwheels car adds and other kids toys lol they make them look so fun with the real dirt mountains and indiana jones like effects lol looks alot different wheeling em around on the carpet at home :lol: poor kids lol talk about false advertising.

I would say dating sites that claim to have have hundresds of hot nimble young people desperate for a casual hook up with an old, fat and balding bloke like me.

Except they are real.

And I am neither fat or balding.

What about snowball fights in American movies? They look like so much fun but in real life it is hard to run around because the ground is slippery and snow isn't fluffy it is hard and wet and really hurts when you get hit in the face. I've never being so disappointed in my life. And then there is snowboarding. The videos advertising the snowfields show people including young kids sliding down the slopes smiling. They forgot to mention you spend half the day falling over and bruising yourself.

But then I love snowboarding and snowball fights so maybe it wasn't so bad after all.

Lynx adds would say, "If you can't get a girl now, you sure as hell won't get one because you are wearing Lynx but we want your money and it isn't too bad so what's the harm."

Lynx adds would say, "If you can't get a girl now, you sure as hell won't get one because you are wearing Lynx but we want your money and it isn't too bad so what's the harm."

The amount they use on the adds it would act better as a repelant....

Alfa Romeo ads would show the car breaking down within the first week of being bought. But then if you buy an Alfa and it doesn't break down you haven't bought a proper Alfa.

"Extreme" Nissin x-trails would be shown driving up steep rocky hills and over creeks but rather some house wife taking their kids to soccer practice.

Great wall would have their car break down as you drive it out of the dealership.

huggies nappies adds would show sleep deprived parents stummbling about trying to find the bloody nappy.

Hmmmmm, truth in Advertizing, what an interesting concept, i wonder if it would take off and become a fad...................................Ron

Not an ad about honesty etc but I really dislike the carefree acti-fresh liner ad. With the naked chic. It's just a bit of a confronting and very detailed ad and its on really early. Just a bit unnecessary IMO.

 

[disintegratus]

My favourite ad at the moment is the medibank private (?) ad. "My son is... 8 and a half months pregnant. Should I be putting... spiders in his bed?" Heheh. Yes. Yes you should.

I fell foul of some false advertising on this site, I bought two secondhand microclimate B1 thermostats in working order to find that they turn on the heat source but do not switch it off once the desired temperature is reached.
