There is a whole host of perfume, aftershave adverts on the box at the moment each and every one irritates me beyond belief. Do these companies really think that we think that if we purchase a particular scent or have one purchased for us we are going to turn magically into top totty? Explode:

They work on the principle espoused by Abraham Lincoln that "You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time" The advertising industry are mainly happy to concede that "you can not fool all of the people all of the time."

Is that not the case then sad24:
I work on the principle that if I bathe myself in it then the fumes will render my prey woozy and therefore vulnerable to attack rubschin:

A magazine ad for an Olay beauty product featuring Twiggy has been banned by the advertising watchdog, after more than 700 complaints gathered for a campaign against airbrushing in ads by the Liberal Democrat MP Jo Swinson.
The Advertising Standards Authority received two complaints that the ad was misleading because the image of Twiggy had been digitally retouched.
In addition Swinson forwarded more than 700 complaints, gathered via her anti-airbrushing web campaign, that the ad had was not only misleading but also socially irresponsible, because it could have a "negative impact on people's perceptions of their own body image".
In its ruling, the ASA said that it considered that the post-production retouching of the original ad, specifically in the eye area, could give consumers a "misleading impression of the effect the product could achieve".
So who is this Jo Swinson then ???
Here she is rubschin:
