Commercial Spins
Claims and promises in advertisement that seem too good to be true
Assume that it may not be all that it says it is
CompaniesBusinesses
Make a profit
In other words…
![Page 7: Http://. Edessa Brown & Wivine Ngongo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e575503460f94b507c4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Deception is Highly Profitable
Unrealistic fast results Obvious over modified Photoshop images Unheard of or rare products from
unknown companiesTOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!
Yet, people buy!
You too can have a body like mine…
![Page 8: Http://. Edessa Brown & Wivine Ngongo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e575503460f94b507c4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Deception Is True, But Misleading…
Free credit report ads are catchy and appear to be quite promising
Your ability to view your credit score for free is true, but only for the time being
To monitor your credit on freecreditreport.com it will cost you $15 a month
Consumers were unaware of this due to no disclaimers on the free credit report website or television advertisement
![Page 9: Http://. Edessa Brown & Wivine Ngongo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e575503460f94b507c4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Deception Can Cost Lives Yasmin Birth Control, Yaz, or Ocella Birth
Control
“Can the pill be good for you? Can you feel OK when you're on it? Is it doing anything positive for you besides preventing an unwanted pregnancy? The answer to all these questions is yes!”
Not really! There has been reported claims of serious injury…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6yzrMmIZ04

Political Spins
Deliver even bigger doses of
deception
Political deceivers often times imply
their falsehoods rather than stating
them outright
Otherwise known as implied deception…
Politicians have a legal right to lie
![Page 11: Http://. Edessa Brown & Wivine Ngongo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e575503460f94b507c4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Direct Deception
The Claim: In the third Presidential debate in 2000, Bush stated that he supported a “Patients’ Bill of Rights” allowing patients to sue HMOs and insurance companies.
The Facts: Bush never signed to a right-to-sue law, and actively opposed it. He even vetoed a patient's bill of rights.
In other words, nothing in Bush’s claim was true and voters were deceived and supported Bush’s false claims.
![Page 12: Http://. Edessa Brown & Wivine Ngongo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e575503460f94b507c4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Implied Deception
Bush: “To keep family farms in the family, we’re going to get rid of the death tax.”
Under then-current law, estate taxes only applied to estates valued over $675,000, and spouses could inherit estates of any size, tax-free.
Although his claim was true:▪ Bush’s proposal affected the wealthy▪ It did not affect farmers
![Page 13: Http://. Edessa Brown & Wivine Ngongo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e575503460f94b507c4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Recognize that its there
Fend for ourselves
![Page 14: Http://. Edessa Brown & Wivine Ngongo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e575503460f94b507c4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Connection to 1984
Politicians have a legal right to lie So does the Inner Party Inner Party was full of lies that were
otherwise claimed true. People outside of the party was
cheated and lied to, but there was nothing they could do about it.
![Page 15: Http://. Edessa Brown & Wivine Ngongo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e575503460f94b507c4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Part 1, Chapter 4, Page 39
“As short a time ago as February, the Ministry of Plenty had issued a promise (a 'categorical pledge' were the official words) that there would be no reduction of the chocolate ration during 1984. Actually, as Winston was aware, the chocolate ration was to be reduced from thirty grams to twenty at the end of the present week. All that was needed was to substitute for the original promise a warning that it would probably be necessary to reduce the ration at some time in April.”
![Page 16: Http://. Edessa Brown & Wivine Ngongo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e575503460f94b507c4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Examples of Deception
Direct deception “Categorical pledge”
Definite, clear-cut, inflexible vow The inner party directly lied to the
public when they said that the chocolate ration would no longer be lowered.
![Page 17: Http://. Edessa Brown & Wivine Ngongo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e575503460f94b507c4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Examples of Deception cont.
Implied deception “Substitute for the original promise” Used implied deception when they
said that it would be necessary to reduce the ration.
This statement was true but misleading because it lead people to believe it was for the best.
Reducing the chocolate ration wasn’t “necessary.”
![Page 18: Http://. Edessa Brown & Wivine Ngongo.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e575503460f94b507c4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Deception Is Highly Profitable
Victory Gin, Victory Coffee, and Victory Cigarettes were provided by the party. Otherwise known as “Victory Products”
Available in London after World War II, when “conditions made it impossible for people to obtain anything better.”
For all Winston knew, this could have been another lie for profit.

Connection to Language Awareness
Weasel Words Creates an impression that something
specific and meaningful has been said.
“…advertisers have learned to weasel-word their
commercials so that their claims are literally accurate but still misleading.”
