"But appearances can be deceiving-and indeed, they often are in advertisements." (Common Culture, Ch. 2 intro 47)
Many of the advertisments that we see can seem simple enough, but almost all of them contain statements or pictures that are interpreted many different ways.  A simple statement like "Your gonna like the way you look.....I Guarentee It," from the Mens Warehouse at the end of every commercial.  This statement can lead people to a false belief that they are going to get a quality product just because the founder of the company says so.  There are many different ways that ads can make consumers feel good about what they are buying.
