Deceptive advertising

June 24, 2008 · Leave a Comment

The end of the BrandsMart ad sounds like this:

“Of course, your favorite brands at low, low prices! [singing:] That’s why more people say / I like buying at BrandsMart USA…” etc.

Seems, fine, right? Wrong. Wrong, I say, wrong! This, folks, is Deceptive Advertising. Look carefully at the first line in the jingle. “That’s why more people say.” More? More than what? More than, say, people who like buying at Manolio’s Lectro-Pawn? (see http://www.homestarrunner.com/tgs10.html) No contest there. The “more” is left wholly unspecified, leaving the innocent consumer confused, angry and emotionally exhausted. We must not tolerate this! It is, in fact, intolerable! I hereby advocate a full-scale, full-throttle, full-figure lawsuit against BrandsMart! Who’s with me?!

That will be all.
