The Dangers of False Advertising

As the years go by, Blogger has become increasingly frustrated with the acceptance of false advertising in modern life.

We all understand "puffing:" The act of inflating legitimate claims to make them appear even better than they are. However, the practice has gone too far.

For instance cars. You see the advertisments of the car zooming through the country side with deep, guttural engine noises as the driver glides through the gears. Then they cut away to a luxurious inside shot of the vehicle, panning over the various gauges and leather that fills the interior. One of those gauges is the speedometer and even if it's a four cylinder little car designed to race turtles in a pond, the speedometer inviteably goes up to 140 or 160 mph.

Liars! The only way the car could go that fast is by dropping it off the Golden Gate Bridge. With a two ton millstone tied to the car. Freshly Waxed. The highest point of the bridge.

Blogger refuses to let car companies get away with such deceptive advertising. What if one day a madmen in a muscle car decides to kill you, you excelerate, only to find that your car will only do 110? You die. That's what. And the car companies should be sued.

So he faithfully checks to make sure that car companies have advertising campaigns of integrity. When he gets into a car, he takes note of the speedometer and checks to see if it is an accurate assessor of the actual potential of the vehicle.

Blogger is happy to point out that today on the outskirts of Death Valley, CA, Blogger tested the limits of his Camaro. Chevy advertising executives can breathe a sign of relief. They need have no fear of litigation from Blogger. Blogger Camaro does in fact max out the speedometer at 150.

The world is a safer place.
