Curb your cravings

The advertisement reads: "Purchase the Hoodia Weight Loss Patch" Lose your tummy in four weeks! Four weeks? Four WEEKS?

Yoiks. I'm very fond of my tummy, thank you very much. Losing it would be as Oscar Wilde said in the Importance of Being Earnest", "to lose a (tummy) may be regarded as a misfortune". (With apologies to Oscar).

These advertisements use words indiscriminately. Losing a tummy is not as simple as it sounds. There are people who unfortunately have lost theirs, through surgery or illness or as a result of accidents. This is just not funny!

And whoever thought up a weight loss patch has to be dreaming. Obviously there's a huge (excuse the pun!) lot of money to be made from gullible people buying these patches.

Then there the other ad: Lose 2-24 inches in ONE HOUR 100% satisfaction guaranteed! Free special report reveals all! Do they really think we're stupid?

Lose 2 to 14 INCHES in one hour! Obviously there's a lot more to this ad than meets the eye, but they've got you "hooked" immediately decide to go into the site and read the "revealing report"!

These people are NOT ethical! They're out to make money and that's it.
