I love the car ads where they say "best something in its class" when all they have to do to be in a class is say "this car is the class where car's weight is this excatly weight class, its the only one and the best!"
Or the slogan "the number one something" like radio station or something, because if you think about it "the number one" really doesn't mean anything at all, if they said "most listened to", or something that would be different but just "the number one" implies the best without even making sense, its great.
ALSO, recently there has been a HUGE campaign by the "asscoiation against satallite theft"(sp?) which if you look it up is made up, of course by advertizers, and the broadcasting companies. They have great ad's like ones where kids steal shit from stores and then get cought and say "but dad, you steal satallite!" I laugh my head of, followed by what must be the slogan that really sums up todays world "theft is theft." as in, stealing is wrong in EVERY SITUATION. Even if your starving, if you don't have the money, just die we don't even care. Anyway, thats a bit of hyperbole but regardless. Also before movies these days they have funny ads against movie piracy, the "average blue collar Joe" talks about how he makes his living in the movie business working on sets and whatnot. HE GETS PAID THE SAME RATES REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH MONEY THE MOVIE MAKES! If its a flop, he's been paid months ago! It doesn't matter to him in the slightest if everyone pirated that movie, thats what unions are for! Man, as you can tell this sort of bugs me and I like to yell that last sentace out at the screen beligerantly every time I go to the movies these days.
