Even more truth in advertising




 

In my last post, I wrote about a terribly misleading postcard. While doing some research about truth in advertising, I came across some interesting examples.
 
They needed to clarify this because people were walking into this Iowa store hoping to catch a train to Grand Central Station.

 
 
At last, no more embarrassing questions to the store workers asking if they carry the XXXL Depends adult diapers.

 
 
I called this number and told them they had won a million dollars from the king of some nation they’d never heard of. All I needed was their credit card number for a “transaction fee.”
 

 
Yes, that’s the reason a lot of men go to the gym—to see ugly women.

 
 
 
Do the watches tell time, or do you have to look at them?
 
 
 
I was once told the same thing by two muggers.
 

 
Figures, I had them come to my house at 11:00 last Monday.
 
 
 
Little known fact: "Dutch's" was the original name of Walmart.
 
 
 
 
This is what I’m looking for in a lawyer.
 
 
 
 
Strangely enough, this was posted outside a hardware store.
 
 
 

 
Part of a less-than-successful chain owned by the brothers “Yu,” “Soon” and “Your Mom is.”
 
 
 
Amen.
