This is just plain ridiculous. I don't even need to say anything else about it.
What makes me angry here is that Faith Hill is a beautiful lady and this magazine feels the need to make her skinnier with less lines on her face. She's way hotter than I'll ever hope to be but obviosuly it's still not good enough. Wow, doesn't that make me feel like crap.
Airborne: Vitamin C cleverly disguised as a protective medicine to keep you healthy (yeah vitamin C is good for you but don't make it what it's not).
Dr. Pepper: A pop that claims right on the can "Solves all your problems." Um...so can you pay my bills? Some other examples:
* Gum that lasts "longer than it took to create the universe" (I don't think so)
* Ugly chicks in shirts that claim "Hottie" (If we can read, we can see you)
* Push-up bras (it's just going to make someone mad when they find out the truth)
* Cologne commercials that indicate that woman will jump on their boyfriends father (so the guy smells good, it won't really make chicks act that way)
I'm sure you've seen them too. Whatever the case may be blatant false advertising is unacceptable. So here's the thing media, don't treat me like an idiot, I know that you are lying to me and that makes me angry. I won't buy your products because you treat me like an imbecile.
The biggest problem is that they have begun to outright lie to us ("they" being the marketing corporations). Advertising has always been about making something seem better than it is and making people feel as though they need something they don’t; but really, I’d like to be taken seriously and not treated like an idiot.
And here's the thing, people are going to find out eventually and they're going to be pissed when they do! So why not just tell us what your product actually can do, that I want to know and it's good enough for me.
