Real ad I saw just now for a bed company.

"We take time to explain our products."

Me, thinking, about what the salesman has to say, "Now what you do is you lay on top of it."

Me, "NO WAY! I never would have thought of that."

There's a difference between explaining the product and explaining how to use the product.

It's a bed, not a nuclear power plant.

Boru, I do get what you are saying, but all that is just marketing crap to over conflate what the product does to get more money out of you. Same crap with food, give it a fancy name and you can charge 5 billion dollars for an ounce of fish eggs.

I saw a billboard that read--

HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS HAPPENING HERE!

hotline # ( ect)


....

Really??

Is that the phone number you call when you want to order a slave??

I've always wanted a sex slave. . . but isn't that what wives are for?

*ducks*

The company is selling (or trying to sell) beds.  The whole idea behind advertising is to try to make people believe that your product is the best and the one they should buy.

I have yet to see an ad for the sale of nuclear power plants...do they offer money off for repeat customers or offer a loyalty card, or do they take trade-ins?

Thanks for the update.

Yes of course. But far too much of marketing isn't about selling you something you need, but getting every dime out of you they can.

Diamonds and caviar are perfect examples of bullshit marketing.

You really need a hobby.

You being OFFENDED by, and NEUROTIC about, everything is your baggage, and you spew it ALL over the forum.  There's seldom a thread that doesn't include your ranting and raving.

HONEY, your baggage is the size of steamer trunks.
