T-Rex: Anyway! Relationships are for the young and the criminally insane. What's of real importance is that I saw a car dealership ad yesterday advertising that "no reasonable offer will be refused"!
T-Rex: Well, yeah!
T-Rex: Oooh, ads like that burn my biscuits. Of course they're not going to refuse a reasonable offer! That's what makes it so reasonable! And worse, since "reasonable" can be a very subjective word, it's not really saying anything beyond "Hey, I won't refuse an offer for reasons that I personally find irrational."
Utahraptor: It sounds like you've put a lot of thought into this, T-Rex! T-Rex: It's thought fueled by rage!!
T-Rex: It just bothers me that they're trying to make it sound like a big thing when it's just business as usual! That's deceptive. Utahraptor: That's advertising! T-Rex: So annoying! Plus, I saw this other ad on the same day that said "everyone approved O.A.C."
T-Rex: O.A.C. stands for "on approved credit"! Everyone's approved if they're approved?! Aaargh! T-Rex: I could make some joke about tautological advertisements, but I find them too annoying to laugh at right now.
What are the haps my friends
gosh well would you look at that
This comic is from May 18th, 2005! I didn't write things down here back then. Or maybe I did, and they are now LOST FOREVER. But here is a random merchandise image; perhaps you are... tantalized?
