Bending the truth, if done right, is what usually happens all around us. I mean, to tell someone he or she is ugly is not being truthful, it is being rude and nasty and dumb and stupid. You would not encourage them to take modeling as a career perhaps, but would never tell them why... hmmm Bad example, I know. It is 3 in the morning. Thanks for the comments sister.

Obviously, it is done to fool/blind potential customers. If it were just about convincing them, good. No, great! But this is still a shady method, ethically speaking, don't you think? Heck, it is even objectionable when the truth is told, but told in an unnoticable way. I think Telenor initially started advertising the 'lowest rates ever', and my friends wouldn't stop arguing that it was the cheapest service around. The mobile network industry in Pakistan hadn't come up with 30-second rate disclaimer at the time. Telenor pioneered it (to my observation). Huge billboards, huge advertisement, but you'd need binoculars to read that small note which would've brought everybody down from cloud 7. Truth, eh!
