I always wondered:
Why is it fraud, if a poor guy - who desperately needs the money - sells you something telling you everything is alright although it's broken.
BUT
If a company which sells something which is low quality and will break in half a week tells you the thing is alright and will hold forever, it's advertisement.

I mean, come on, what kind of hypocrisy is that. "The people who watch our commercials know very well that this cleaner/fragrance/car/microwave pizza/... does not clean/smell/run/taste THAT well like we show it on TV. It's just advertisement everybody knows that"
And if they don't they get screwed. I understand (although don't like) that politicians can't be held responsible for breaking their campaign promises (because they can't actually know if they'd be possible after election) but why can't a company be held responsible for advertising something as the "new revolution in taste" when it closely compares to rotten eggs.
