Stats Project! :D By Andrew Acierto and Gianella Aguilar

False Advertising

Have you ever heard of False Advertising? Well the definition of False Advertising is: False advertising or deceptive advertising is the use of false or misleading statements in advertising.  As advertising has the potential to persuade people into commercial transactions that they might otherwise avoid, many governments around the world use regulations to control false, deceptive or misleading advertising. "Truth" refers to essentially the same concept, that customers have the right to know what they are buying, and that all necessary information should be on the label.
False advertising, in the most blatant of contexts, is illegal in most countries. However, advertisers still find ways to deceive consumers in ways that are legal, or technically illegal but unenforceable.* 

This is an example of False Advertising. 
In the first picture, Julia Roberts endorses a brand that can makes you look younger.

But in this picture, Julia Roberts without make up, as you can see, looks older and doesnt look that appealing. 

The first picture you saw was the false advertising; The first picture was obviously photo-shopped and the people who are gonna but it are tricked into buying this product. 

Well today you are warned! ☺ 
Lesson learned! 
Don't believe everything that you see on television ☺ 

Have a good day ahead! ☺☻
