Honest and Advertising are two words which should never be used in the same sentence - they give a conflicting meaning to what is being said!

Note it didn't sell and also note the relisting didn't sell.
Genius?

When I click on Skellum's link I get a blank screen and I am assuming that Agentum's post refers to that link.

What's the problem with the link and does your comment, Argentum, refer to that link? If not what is the "it" that didn't sell.

Thanks

Mike

my post referred to Post 1 of topic.

skellums link will just make you feel hungry and I think the guy in his link was just looking for an excuse to stuff his face.

Hi Mike.
Sorry my link didn't work for you.
It's an article I originally saw through 'The Online Photographer'. Someone went to the trouble of photographing a selection of Burgers and Tacos, then posting the results alongside the official advertising shots of the same products. Night and day isn't in it.
Anyhow, you could Google
ads vs reality fast food alphaila.com
and it should be top pick. I apologise that it is slightly off topic as in it's not photographic, but it is very expressive of the lack of connection between advertising and reality.
Cheers for 2014, Skellum!

Thanks, Skellum. Yes I am old enough to remember Maltesers that had the less fattening calories in their centres.
