almost all businesses engage in false advertising to some degree. it's luck of the draw if you get singled out. our next door neighbor when i was a teenager was a diamond dealer, he got charged with deceptive advertising, the court case seemed to last forever.

the one i fucking hate is the retailers who advertisers that WE PAY THE TAX!!! and in tiny print at the bottom they say 'prices have been reduced blah blah blah prior to taxes making the equivalent etc etc'
no they haven't, it's total bullshit and i can't believe they don't get charged. been going on for decades. if you're paying the tax, fucking pay the tax. grrrrrrrrrrrrr

and MSRP - total bullshit, there's not a moron on the planet who has ever paid the MSRP on anything.

then there's the 75% off sale - 75% off fucking what, show me that product advertised at one time for $100 and then charge me $25 for it. that's 75% off. they just make up this bullshit. what they reallly mean is 75% off their regular markup - more bullshit since no consumer has any clue what their regular markup is.
