Disney World's Only Free Ride

This week’s edition is from Disney World:

What is the horrible fine print in this cute innocent commercial?

No wonder the Rodriquez family is happy and having a good time, they are on a free vacation! Could they not find a family to smile and pose for pictures for free? Have the Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana gotten that old in which Disney has to resort to paying people to enjoy their entertainment? At the end of the ad, why bother showing the $1,800 package when a family can get it all for free? I’ll wait in that line instead.

Claritin’s Unclear Claims

This week’s edition is from Claritin:


Here is the fine print:

It’s the only brand clinically tested? A study saying it works better than a placebo without comparing to other brands is not a competitive advantage. Zrytec and every other major allergy medicine obviously have been tested and approved by the FDA. Do they instead mean it’s the only brand that was proven effective in studies? Claritin has the fine print on their website, but do not give any details as to the actual study referenced. Zrytec at least shows this comparison on their website even though their studies are a decade old. Consumers better hope Claritin’s pills clear up their allergies better than their marketing department’s claims.
