I've always thought the phrase, "So hurry in and start saving today" is one of the most asinine phrases when used in retailer's advertising, intimating that because they're having a Sale, you're saving money by .....spending money, not just as much money as they wanted you to at another price.

Today, on the radio, I hear an ad for some magic diet pill that says, "We all know that with today's hectic lifestyle it's hard to eat healthy, so we've got this pill ...."

So apparently, because of this hectic lifestyle we all lead, you must not grab an apple or banana for a snack, but instead wolf down a BigMac and then take a diet pill?
