'Chemical free'. So what's it made out of then, photons?

or,

'95% fat free'. That'll be 5% pure lard then. And probably shedloads of sugar and salt to compensate but hey.

Last night on cosmetic ad. "100% showed results".

FFS. What results? What does show mean? Argh.

Also- ECO cars. They are still polluting. They may do less than others but there is still a ton of new materials and oils based plastics, paints and oil being carted about. They are by no means eco friendly.

Walkers sensations made with 'real ingredients'. As opposed to what exactly?

There's some anti-fugal nail stuff that claims on TV like " FACT: left untreated, some nail infections may get worse" - how can it be a FACT that something [i]might[/i] happen? Grr.

"new and improved" - great, so all this time I've been using old and inferior?

"No added sugar"

We decided it had so much sugar from the fruit in it, we'd not put any more in.

"new and improved" read as "not good enough first time around"

Retina Display

Thankyou Apple, and what exactly does that mean?....is it LED, LCD, OLED etc?...letting me know which will actually help me understand whether it will be crap outside in daylight for example, likewise some of the screen types above show blacks as dark greys and whites that have a yellow or blue hue to them, i'd like to actually know about the technology....but dont worry, just chuck the meaningless 'Retina Display' marketing term at me instead.

New and improved!

Nope, it's either new or it's improved. It certainly isn't both.

I love the junk mail that comes in an envelope marked "hand-delivered for your personal attention."
"Hand-delivered"?? Has the Post Office come up with some other way of doing it then? ...and my "personal attention"? Well, usually I get my valet to open the post for me but since you insist...
