False and Deceiving Advertising Really Bugs Me
Just sitting here watching TV this morning I have seen 2 commercials that are very misleading. One is for my collage, Baker Collage in Michigan. They tell you they will help you find a job, well what they don’t tell you is that you may get employment but it will most likely not be in your field, be a minimum wage job and you will find it yourself. They even count people who are going back to school (theirs or another school) as employed. I have only one term left with them and I have to say I will be so happy when I’m done. Of course that is if I can get registered for that term, but that’s another post.
The other commercial I saw was for Verizon Wireless. It’s there new commercial about how much better their 3G network is compared to AT&T. Now, I do want to disclose that I am AT&T customer but I would say this even if I was not. If you take a good long look at Verizon’s 3G map you will see that the say most of Michigan is covered, now I live in Michigans Thumb area, Look up Caro MI, if you don’t know where I’m talking about. Now if you have Verizon and you come to this area you can’t even make a call let alone use their 3G network! Knowing this makes me wonder how many other places that show covered on that map are not. Verizon doesn’t even have service in this area at all, we only get AT&T or another local company. No one else will move in so I have to say right now I’m happy with my AT&T service and guess what they do plan to have 3G coverage in this area soon. I’ve heard nothing of Verizon even trying to get service here!
Okay my rant is done I promise! Have you seen any false advertising on TV lately? What do you think about it?
Someone I follow on twitter posted a link to this after I wrote this post. I had to share it. It’s AT&T’s response to Verizon.
