Is There Really Any Truth In Advertising!!

Have you ever been sitting back watching television and a commercial comes on for anything such as, foot care, shoes, weight loss, skin care, etc, and wonder what the world is really going on. I mean that every actor in the commercial either has, pretty feet, great abs, skin is pretty awesome? Come on now really? Is there really any truth in advertising?

The Truth In Advertising law mandated by the federal trade commission, states that, “ When consumers see or hear an advertisement, whether it’s on the Internet, radio or television, or anywhere else, federal law says that ad must be truthful, not misleading, and, when appropriate, backed by scientific evidence”.

Now while some if not all of us thinks that this should be true, I wonder if it really is? It seems to me, that every time you or I see one of these commercials, we are suppose to believe that because there is a pretty girl, handsome man, cute little animal, or a sexy something, that is why we need to purchase and or believe that this products works.

But Come on, for once can the advertisement show someone real, I mean an everyday person!

-Put someone in with bad feet, with ingrown toe nails, dead skin, corns, true toe fungus, let that person do all the talking as well as show me the before pictures, how that person used the product, and from that show me the after, that would tell me your product really works.



-Put someone in like me who is obese, who would like to loose some weight, and start the commercial with me telling folks that I am about to start using your product, and let me make a new commercial, in six months to a year, to show the results.


-Put someone in who truly has oily/dead skin, who's skin is really blemished, someone who doesn't really like going out because of his/her skin. Show this person before, and let him/her remake a commercial one or two months latter, to see the results of your product. I think you all get the picture.


I guess the point I am trying to make is, let us see some real people using your products, not actors, models, singers, athletes, cute fuzzy little animals or any other star for that matter. These folks can afford all the perks, and probably don't even use the products for that matter, the only reason they make the commercial is for the money anyway, not all use it because they believe in it. Come even if I was rich and you gave me a free car , for promoting your line of cars, what do you think I would do, heck that is less of my money I have to spend.

If you want to impress us, then show some real truth in your advertising, and use real everyday people to promote your products!!

I Mean:                 I'm Not Stupid – I'm Just Saying!!
