[QUOTE="hard_r, post: 1923930, member: 9837"] Geez guys, it's called money. You have it. They want it. They will do and say anything to get it. It's not false advertising [B][I]because[/I][/B] they put the "Results not typical" disclaimer. If they didn't put that, and their service/product did work for, say, 99 out of 100 people (not realistic, I know) then the one person is going to sue because the commercial said it worked and it didn't. So they cover their asses. I don't understand why this is something to be angry about. It in no way infringes upon any of your rights. This is a free country. Advertisers have freedom of speech just like you and me. They are not lying, because they put the disclaimer. Even if they were lying, so what? Is it just change that upsets you? "Things are not exactly like they used to be. That must mean it's worse. I hate it." That's what it sounds like to me. [/QUOTE]
