[net.nlang] Isn't advertising wonderful?

davidl@mako.UUCP (06/01/84)

In an ad in this weekend's paper from Levitz, the furniture folks, next to a
bunch of lovely drawings of sofas, tables, etc.:

	"Merchandise advertised is an artist's rendering and may be similar to
	illustration."

I, for one, am not paying $477 for an artist's rendering of a sofa, no matter
how similar it is to the illustration!  Another case of diarrhea of the 
typewriter and constipation of the mind...
