It can't be

I try to break events done to the lowest common denominator. An example might be this. A few weeks or so ago someone on TV said that she didn't understand why people who were against Same Sex marriage even got to put in their 2 cents worth since it was a simple matter of Human rights. The only document we have in America that has the answer is the Constitution and I fail to see anything about who can marry who.
Our politicians all get elected promising   to actually Help the people that elected them. But as soon as they get in Office we  find that that not to be true. They seem to be more loyal to the Money that got them in Office in the first place.
It continually comes me that if we did the things our elected Officals did we would either be in Jail or sent away in disgrace.

What I want to do.

My awareness of Truth - in - Advertising, deception in marketing and the the plain silly ass Commercials we have to put up with originated when I read what I thought was a Chocolate milk carton. Instead of Chocolate milk this stuff was "Swiss style Chocolate type Milk drink". I other other words it wasn't Swiss, not Chocolate and not even considered to be Milk. I don't really remember just how ago this was but it was years and years in the past. From that point on I spent a little extra time reading labels and paying attention to how things were worded on TV, packaging and really everywhere.
Over the years I have successfully driven my Wife crazy when I freak out over some little thing that catches my eye on TV. Luckily now we have a DVR and I don't have even need see new commercials let alone the ones that drive me crazy.
So, since this is the very first posting on this Blog I'm not exactly sure how limited or expanded it will be.
It could go from Lame commercials to hidden repackaging or just about anything that is wrong (or right) in today's Marketing
Here's a question:
What long running and successful ad campaign is based on a Dirty Saying?
