What a novel idea.

Especially from the likes of Gillette, who claimed 2012 in a thirty second television spot that their blades last up to five weeks.

I couldn't help remembering John Steinbeck's: "It is in the things not mentioned that the untruth lies."

Looking up the definition of "advertising", I found not a single word about "truth" in it but a lot about manipulating the public to respond in a certain way.


Consumer beware.
