In everything you purchase there is some deceptive marketing
you think all the fast food chains offer 99 cent deals not knowing your going to upgrade to a supersize for only 50 cents more your crazy.
I can go on and on
do you know what all those small charges are on your phonebill
I bet you pay them all not knowing you don't have to. Etc.
Do you ever buy DVD's from the warehouse or virgin in bold it says $19.95 in small print after you send in your rebate or buy two more movies etc.
Oh and AOL's free 1000 min. CDroms they send out to everyone
these are all forms of deceptive marketing to get you to use there products or there services

Arggghh....
Rebates...these are not deceptive..nothing is hidden from the consumer...they know full well about the offer...try again
.99 cent specials upsells..again not deceptive...the consumer has full disclosure...and if he chooses to upgrade, he knows the price...and he doesn't just get to try the meal for 3 days, or reguritate 24 hours before the end of 3 days or pay for a bigger meal. I personally frequent Wendy's and NEVER supersize...but I know the choice is there...and there's no confusion about what it will cost me
Phone bills...again full disclosure...
DVD's..yep, I agree those are sleazy..
So once again you point to a couple of sleazy operations like DVD's to say...look ma, everyone is doing it....
Nope...everyone is not doing it.
That's the whole point..you guys don't have a fucking clue that people in the normal world don't operate this way. And the few that do...probably less then .01%...does not justify you using underhanded techniques...
This is pointless....and you are making my head hurt....
I've always been amazed by criminals they show on A & E, who are trying to get parolled...but don't have the common sense to understand that what they did was wrong...It's all getting clearer now...
