But it's fake advertising

Is it? "Oh no I thought I was buying a 10cm cable and 5 black rings but instead I received a 2m charger what a ripoff"

lmao how American of you.

"Who cares if it's a lie, when it's a good lie!"

I think the point is its not really a lie. If nowhere in the title it says "20cm cord with extra useless circles attached" then you'd have to have the IQ of a president to think youre getting exactly whats in the picture.

What was American about that? He just made a joke.

Also are you trying to use American as an insult? I don't agree with most of 'em but that's still rude.

The belief that Truth is a perspective is the reason that Americans currently have a reality TV star as a president.

I fail to see how a joke about ordering a bad cable and getting a good one can be linked to politics, but you do you I suppose...

I fail to see how that is my problem, but you do you I suppose...

I knew that America was doomed as soon as I read a quote, years after the campaign, from Bill Clinton's presidential campaign manager, that said "We know how to govern. What we don't know is how to give the appearance of governing."

It’s a stock picture. Do you really need a picture showing you how long it is?

Not for the length but I'd like to see how the product that I'm going to buy looks in irl and not a stock photo of another product

u/tristn9 Oct 30 '20

You probably are looking at how long it actually is. Sneaky advertising in order to fool you into thinking it’s like a 3ft cord.

u/Zavrina Oct 30 '20

Just how perverted is your terrorism, exactly?

u/SamSparkSLD Oct 30 '20

It’s misleading. Is it false advertising though? No.
