If I recall, she says that having more information about food products being required on labels is bad. Because by god, the government has no business telling her what to feed her family. So not only a stupid ad but with a stupid message.
Are you saying the E and F are right/left flipped, or the fact the needle moves from E to F? I would think the needle is moving from Empty to Full to show filling up the truck, not Full to Empty as the truck burns gas. Because if the needle moved that fast, that would be low fuel efficiency.
That the E and F are right/left flipped. I’ve never seen a vehicle with full on the left of the gauge.
What gets me is the Ford truck commercial that ends with the truck pulling on a cable, the other end of which is higher than the camera. A truck pulling like that would raise the rear wheels so that there was no traction or pulling power at all.
You should read about the notorious patent medicines sold around the end of the 19th Century; they contained God-knows-what, and their advertising concentrated on trademarks and ignored ingredients. This continued until enactment of the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906.
Do billboards count? There’s an anti-child-abuse billboard around here with a picture of a kid with two black eyes, saying “The worst thing you can do is nothing”, and a phone number to call to report abuse. Sure, people should get involved, but “worst”? I’m pretty confident that whoever gave her those black eyes was doing worse than “nothing”.
“The worst you could do is punch a kid in the face – twice.”
