Corporate advertisers hold the gullible to an impossible standard they will try to emulate in frustration. It's not the product being sold in and of itself-it's what it can do for you to help you achieve that ultimate goal of perfection, ie: buy our shit and be loved by all and look good too.

I agree with you ngdawg. A prime example of this type of advertising is those stupid 'male-enhancement' pills. They say NOTHING of the drug or what it -actually- does. All the ad says is it will make your dick bigger and your wife will want to fuck you more. Its a pretty shallow ad if you ask me, but people fall for it, and buy it. Quite sad actually...
