Do you think that fast food advertising is deceptive?

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

David S asked:

In my opinion, fast food restaurants employ deceptive food images in their advertising. Take hamburgers, for example. The size of beef patties are exaggerated relative to the bun in ads and on menus, and the actual products do not resemble the advertised images.

How do you feel about this? Do you notice it? Do you accept it? Are you annoyed by it? Do you consider it a non-issue? Have you ever complained about it, or returned food because of it? Would you like to see something done about it?

How can we curb advertising on news video clips?

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

Raphael S asked:

When I try to watch news video clips I’m noticing that the ads are getting longer and more intrusive! It seems that for every 2 minutes of news video I’m forced to endure 30 seconds of advertising; this is worse that regular TV!! Instead of fostering a desire to go out and buy Alpo I’m motivated to stop watching video clips. Good job Yahoo!
