Give me a break!

April 12th, 2008 at 02:49 pm

I was traveling to teach the Financial Freedom Experience this weekend, and I heard a radio commercial about make-up.

The voice-over person said, "Discover how our make-up can change your life."

Really? It can change my life?

Wow. I am going to go order a bucket of it now.

Readers: What other outrageous claims have you heard as part of product/service marketing?

    Casinos advertising that if I come to them I can REALLY LIVE! I should go and see all those dead people coming back to life!

    The Citibank commercial (I think) with the I WANT IT NOW!

    I showed my kids the FeedthePig.org videos today!

    Another one I don't care for is the one (sorry I've blocked the name of the CC issuer) that shows everyone zooming thru the line until the one supposed 'fuddy-duddy' shows up w/o a credit card! Oh my, we are so important in all our busyness, aren't we? We can't stand in line a minute or two more??? Our self-importance overwhelms me. My mother and millions of her generation are not going to be switching to the swipe and run theory of shopping. It is particularly rude to make them feel bad for coming in to your stores to shop if they can't get w/the program and swipe and run! BAHHHHHH!!!
