A Dumb Statement
During my train trip home yesterday I observed an advertisement that had the following statement, "TSC Direct may save you up to $500 or more." Let’s break that down, shall we?
Up to 500 = less than or equal to 500
500 or more = 500 or greater
So the above statement is basically saying TSC Direct may save you an infinite amount. My advice, pick the top number it will save and say up to that number. So TSC, I’m available when you need me in the future.

Leave that to the marketing people to come up with mind numbing stuff.
I say mind numbing, because the average person, or the majority of the people would go “ooh wow” instead of pondering over the absurdity.
Nice observation, like what your fortune cookie said.

It is quite odd how advertisers try to manuever their way into the human brain. It’s like when they have one of those huge inventory clearances at the car dealerships. Everything must go… Drive away in a brand new mustang for ONLY $19,995!! And the sad thing is everyone just has to check it out. Seriously people do you really think your gonna get a brand spankin’ new decked out mustang for that?! No. No. No. You’d be lucky if the thing came with an option to roll down the windows at that price. But you had to look. You just had to look.

The potential to save an undetermined amount of money above $500 is much more appealing than stating a more accurate average.
