    Truthfulness in advertising? Who knows – it could just catch on

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisf...logans-honesty

    Thought this was funny

    I like this kind of advertising. The motives may be dishonest but the technique is brazen honesty – to scream: "This is the catch!" so loudly at cynical consumers that they perversely ignore it. Here's a glimpse of how some products may be marketed in future, if this trend continues:

    Conservative party: "Because, deep down, you know that posh people are supposed to be in charge."

    Cancer Research UK: "Don't think of this as chucking your money away altruistically, like with Amnesty. Face it, you're never going to go to North Korea but, with your diet, bowel cancer is a very real possibility."

    Payday loans: "If you were the sort of person who was ever going to understand compound interest, you wouldn't be in this mess. We can literally put off the shitstorm until next week. I mean, next week! It'll probably never happen!"

    McDonald's: "Ever felt like putting on some elasticated jogging bottoms and really letting go? Why not today? Two years and 15 stone down the line, you can always bounce back via a fat camp documentary on Sky."

    "Listen to me. I can just about handle you, driving like a pissed-up crackhead and treating women like beanbags, but I’m going to say this once and once only, Gene: stay out of Camberwick Green!"

    KFC - Admit it, you couldn't care less if your dinner used to be a mutant freak chicken who lived in its own faeces.
