What Quality???

[Samurai Waki]

I'm banned from using Axe, ms. Waki has a jealous streak a mile long.

When she brought up the subject I very nearly said "Its not the Axe Baby, its the Sexy Car." But I held my lip.

fresh from my trip to the 2 cent emporium of fine products i am sitting here reviewing my latest purchse,
a pack of 5 High Quality Single DVD cases

and i have been thinking (a dangerous past-time)

How come everything is high quality, superb quality, exceptional quality, export quality??

Where,, where i ask you, where are the Low quality, Bad quality, C### quality, and the "haha i cant believe you bought this" quality products???

heck, i'd even settle for Average quality,

but no - it's all High quality... or better,

so...
is High the new Low????

Yeah, advertisements are always devious though, by their very nature. Though it starts to get ridiculous when they outright LIE.

The Jetstream people who manage our internet ran a completely idiotic advertising campaign, the fact is that nobody likes them because we have rather shoddy and expensive internet, but their ads just were so stupid.

They said "Sign up to Jetstream and win a trip to the Moon"

Eventually the broadcasting standards people (or whoever it was) shut off the ad and made them pay a fine because it was blatantly false. I mean, what kind of idiot thinks "Ok right, sales are down, let's tell people that if they join with us we'll launch them into space!"

Almost as bad as the Dodo internet ads here - they offer free* ADSL 2+

*NB: Usage limit 50MB/month, after which the user will be charged more in twenty minutes use than they would on other plans for the whole month...yes, 50MB would take under 10 seconds to use up on that plan

Wow that sounds like our satellite internet plan but even more devious. With ours we get 425mb/day and after we use it up our internet is turned down from an okay broadband speed to about 7kb/s. Luckily they don't charge us extra for using it up, but it essentially means that we can surf websites faster than when we had dial-up, but we can't download nearly as much because we can't just leave the download on overnight or for a couple of days.
