Does it come with a pair of HD Special Ops sunglasses?
Well the ad does say they come with a "strategy". That is same as tactics right? Never realized that I needed a strategy for using pliers. |

Just because you can,
doesn't mean you should
| I'm guessing Tactix Pro's are made in China so that should tell you all you need to know.

For sure. I've also seen people wax eloquent over coffee: "Hints of this and that, blah, blah, blah...and a nutty finish." "Nutty finish..." he sez. More than you realize, Scooter...

Reminds me of an old George Carlin line. Nail two things together that nobody has nailed together before, and some schmuck will buy it.

| The Olympic Games are hyped to no end. They are advertising them and they don't even start until 2020.

| You’re misreading. “ leave you satisfied before... your work is completed.” The ad writer learned from the now defunct sharper image company. They became successful from taking full page magazine ads and writing about crappy watches. I know, I bought one of their early watches.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

What is the most ridiculous or over hyped ad you have seen recently?
Not recent (clearly) but for many years I was in the habit of making my dad mix tapes for Christmas from the music I'd accumulated over the previous year. He was into it and frequently commented on how much he enjoyed that. At one point I came home from the store with a package of 3 *blank* TDK SA-90s. Blank. The little bag they came in, in addition to touting the clearly superior technical attributes of the contents, bore this gem: "Perfect for recording."
