How truthful do you think brands are when it comes to advertising their products? Well if we look at this infographic from FinancesOnline.com, we’ll see that many brands have made deceptive advertis... ing into an art. In fact, the infographic shows the disparity between ads and actual products, and we discovered that the actual items looks a lot different from the pictures. This happens in the industry of food, tourism, and fashion. Sometimes the fake out is funny especially in hotels and resorts. For example, an ad shows an infinity pool using a low angle, but in truth, the pool is more like an oversized jacuzzi. You’ll find more hilarious if not annoying hotel ads in the infographic. You’re also probably familiar with the extensive “photoshopping” of makeup or fashion models until they appear emaciated humans who barely resemble normal beings. We have regulations that monitor fake advertising in the U.S., but clearly, we need more. In the meantime, big and small companies owe it to the American consumers, the lifeblood of their business, to only show ads that truly represent their product or service.
