I didn't have time to watch the video; but I know all about the manipulative practices of advertising. I can give you one classic example: Becel has a margarine out that states in BIG BOLD letters (the first thing you see); MADE WITH OLIVE OIL! Now, if you read the ingredients, you'll find that this toxic concoction is only 8% olive oil - the rest is mostly GMO canola. How do I know it's GMO? Because practically ALL canola is GMO and there's no requirement to label GMOs (another deception)!

Ah, yes, the issue of "intent." Your video cuts to the quick of human perception, Pedro. As humans, we see invisible layers of behavior...the thoughts behind things...plainly. Is that punch for real, or to make one flinch? Is that remark an insult, or a joke? Is that claim earnest, or ironic? We make these judgments instantly. Grannies knitting shredded wheat bits? Not a lie. Intent: smile. Just like your vid! Thanks.

good question... cadbury's and McDonalds regularly show the products to be much larger (and better made) in their adverts than they are in real life
shut up you idiot!
even a 5 year old would tell that they dont employ nannies to knit your shreddies!

No.1 Never be rude to people you don't know or those that you do.
No.2 You call yourself a comedian and yet you:
a) cannot take a joke, and
b) don't recognise irony.
No.3 You are clearly unaware of Nestle's track record.
No.4 Nestle say that Shreddies are knitted by nanas you say they are not; are you calling Nestle a liar?
No.5 Thank you for watching.

i am currently writing an essay about corporate identity and how brands portray themselves. nestle have a very dodgy past and are aggressive marketers. their website shows pictures of families -they promote nutrition good health and well being yet they use child labourers to penny pinch and were the direct cause of many infant deaths in 3rd world countries. look it up people.
