Same that happened with magazine "touch-ups". Imagine our world if all advertising was actually real - no Photoshop allowed? Would the 2nd pic of the Big Mac entice you to go buy one? Would it make your mouth water?If anyone has a problem with fast-food advertising and wants to join a class action in the US, Justin Chimienti vs Wendy's LLC and McDonalds is working its way through the system right now
In the US, law allows for something called "puffery" in advertising. To your point, most reasonable people understand that advertising is showing the best light/side/feature of the product/service. We understand that the makeup, once applied, will not make us look like the supermodel wearing it. Same with clothing.My whole point is: not only I don't care, but it doesn't matter. Mercedes-Benz had an ad for a self driving car in 2017. It's marketing.
This investigation and McD and MB and and and all sum up butt hurt people that fell for advertisement.
Thanks for adding that, I never heard the term, and it makes perfect sense to this context.In the US, law allows for something called "puffery" in advertising.

Puffery: In everyday language, puffery refers to exaggerated or false praise. Puffery serves to "puff up" what is being described. In law, puffery is usually invoked as a defense argument: it identifies futile speech, typically of a seller, which does not give rise to legal liability. In a circular manner, legal explanations for this normative position describe the non-enforceable speech as a statement that no "reasonable person" would take seriously anyway.
This is a really bad analogy.This is a Big Mac
I like the Big Mac analogy better. Marketing / Advertisement 101.This is a really bad analogy.
It more like you bought a 5 speed manual transmission car from Mars brand cars, but were told 5th gear was coming soon. Just need to work out some bugs with the ECU firmware to control it and get the fuel maps right. It overdrive! See? Here's a video proving it works!
[several years go by, we all speculate about the exact gear ratio, improved mpg, measure wheel rotations and count rpm's from the video and audio until every one is so bored they want to barf]
Then they "release" 5th gear, but for the first owners, it's just 4th gear in the 5th gear spot, you need to get new gears installed.
For later owners, it works, but only down hill.
Then everyone sues, and the engineers explain that the video was fake, they used an old Ford transmission, and never got the real one to work.
All I know is this is all so boring I want to barf.
Tesla Inc. is already facing multiple investigations by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for problems with its two driver-assist systems, Autopilot and “Full Self-Driving.”U.S. Justice Department seeks Tesla driver-assist documents
Tesla Inc disclosed on Tuesday the U.S. Justice Department has sought documents related to its Full Self-Driving (FSD) and Autopilot driver-assistance systems as regulatory scrutiny intensifies.www.reuters.com
It's funny how it always converges to that. We all know it, yet, some of us keep yelling “IT'S NOT DONE I SOLD MY CAR AND NEVER SAW IT I WANT MY MONEY BACK”. And then it dies. And then some Elon hating site throws him on the fire again, someone creates a thread that links to it, and we have the same discussion over and over again.whose the poster here who swears Tesla has no product called FSD nor Full Self Driving
And yet…lol
Okay, this is hilarious. Buttt, that Big Mac didn’t cost $12,000 or well $6000 back then…if they charged $30 for a Big Mac you’d be pissed if it came out like slop, and let’s call FSD what it is Slop, charge for what it is. Bet if they charged $1500 no body would say *sugar* lol. Just like you pay $4 for a Big Mac….This is a Big Mac
Yeah, but the pretty hamburger idea is irrelevant.I like the Big Mac analogy better. Marketing / Advertisement 101.
Yours was too long and specific, but I guess it has its own value, too.
See, you had to explain yours in like 5-6 paragraphs, and I still don't get it. I posted a picture (almost out of context) and I think everyone knew instantly.

At least you get a hamburger with all the ingredients shown in the add.
Mines not perfect either, and the investigation and a subsequent trial is the only real way to determine if it's a problem or not.
