Dishonest Trailer
I wasn't going to make a thread for this, but the more I think about it the more annoyed I get. The new trailer for Get Famous advertises having award ceremonies like this: https://youtu.be/pvM...

I don't think the point people are trying to make is that it's okay because it has happened before. But this is something so ubiquitous in our society that it's a little surprising to see it bought up here. There's no doubt the OP sees dozens of ads employing the very same tricks on a daily basis. Advertisements everywhere, for everything are dramatized and idealized.Spoilerhttps://i.imgur.com/y7r7Zha.jpg
It's been this way for a long time and it will continue to be that way. Of course, as consumers we don't enjoy it and we don't think it's fair.. but it's an issue way too big to be tackled in these forums.
Don't get me wrong, if it came down to a situation where claims were being made that were not being honored (like that whole year or so where GTW claimed to offer 3 new functional careers yet only one of them worked) then I could totally get behind the sentiment.
As for your example: my Big Mac always comes with all the ingredients I see in the right picture? Of course adverts idealize and make things look slightly better (in this case because the left, more realistic picture actually doesn’t represent the experience of what I get). That’s not the same as showing things that aren’t there in reality.
