Deceptive Marketing in adult and mainstream

Welcome to the real world.. Deceptive marketing tactics
I felt since some of you are so against certain marketing practices in the adult realm It deserved its own thread

Have you ever purshased those great deals from mainstream with rebates.
example:the cell phone deal is only $99 after you send in your $100 rebate which most people don't.

AOL's free 1000 min. CDroms they send out to everyone

these are all forms of deceptive marketing tactics to get you to Purchase there products or use there services.

Examples
