You know youre not supposed to take those ads seriously dont you?

I saw this ad on drudge a few minutes ago. You see these things all over the place and most of the time I dont notice them, but this one jumped out at me:

You know, I dont want to just right come out and say that I think that these people are lying about the weight loss this lady in the 'before' picture supposedly had under their plan, but I just dont think that the 'before and after' picture is the same person. I just have a hunch. I can't quite put my finger on why I feel this way, I just do.

Hey, she just spent a lot of time laying about the beach before. The after picture includes a lot of time working out indoors at the health club

Well, don't know about that. I think the peddlers really expect, maybe not all of us, but certainly more than half of us to fall for it. It's a fact demonstrated by the recent election that over 50% of us will fall for pretty much anything. And the remainder of us are going to keep quiet so as to avoid called racists.

I ran across something that raised similar doubts in my local paper recently.
