I saw a TV commercial today by a cosmetics company that is fradulent.
It says their product invokes stem cell formation in face skin to erase wrinkles.
There is no such thing. There is no such invocation. And there is no such stem cell therapy cosmetic for wrinkle erasure.
Unfortunately, for the consumer this ad may not be fradulent by the cosmetics firms if it satisfies the "two thirds" rule as defined by the Federal Trade Commission:
namely,
that an ad can be published if 66.7% of it is accurate or that two out of three words in the ad are truthful.
Personally,
I go by the 98% rule: 98% of what I say or promote is 100% accurate; otherwise I'd be a robot like Tom Cruise in the movie 'I Robot'.
Unfortunately the movie 'Mimic' was a documentary except for the outward appearance of the mimicing creatures.
I do not need help with this correction;
every altruist alive is already working on
the problem.

Most cosmetic companies make bogus claims. They barely squeek by regulations in regards to their claims.
And...why doesn't my burger from MacDonalds/Wendy's/Burger King look like the ones in the commercials? Hell, they taste nasty too!
