I just saw a commercial for Toyota that advertised their trucks as "meteor proof". I highly doubt that this is true. It's pretty damn unlikely that anybody's vehicle is going to be hit by a meteor, but surely a big enough meteor would destroy any pickup truck.
Also, I keep seeing movies advertised as being "only in theaters". This is a lie. I know that I can download the movie. They know this as well. This is blatant false advertising and I won't stand for it. They should change the ads to say something more like "only in theaters if you want to view it legally, but we know damn well you can use BitTorrent to get it, since who the hell wants to pay $8 to see Cheaper by the Dozen 2 anyway?".
Budweiser's new slogan has to be the worst in the history of advertising. Here's a tip, if you have to tell people that what they are drinking is beer, it's probably not a very good beer.
I can just see the brainstorming session now.
(a bunch of guys sit around a boardroom table, drinking Bud)
Man A: (takes a drink) Ugghh... what is this shit?
Man B: (takes a drink) It takes like warm cat piss. Which I know, because I frequently drink warm cat piss.
Man C: (takes a drink) I think it's supposed to be beer.
Man D: (takes a drink) This is beer?
Budweiser head honcho guy: Perfect! Our new slogan! This is beer!
