| | | Funny Contradictions
Have you ever watched a commercial or read an ad where it seemd to contradict itself? Examples:
A commercial for a centre that teaches people to read. The Phone number to book an appointment with the head person was 1-800-226-READ . If you cant read...how do you call?? lol
A commercial for some drug that cures migraines..."side effects may include diarrhhea, constipation..." Wow i didnt know that was possible!
Another drug commercia, for chronic anxiety. "you know you have chronic anxiety when (among other points) you feel chronic fatigue" then at the end... "side effects may include (among other things) fatigue". yup...you know your fatigue-curing pill starts working when you feel tired...
Any more?

"You don't have a phone and it is an emergency. What should you do? Call the Local Phone Company!"

i cant think of anything but dry ice is actually dry ice. when it melts it turns straight into the gas state and never is in a liquid state, thats where they get dry-ice.

That reminds me of a thing Groucho Marx said. "Military justice is to justice what military music is to music." Hmm. Let me think of some things. Most of these are oxymorons. Those are funny.

| | | One time in this KFC ad, they were like come in and try our new original recipe. How can you have a new original?
Oh, and the thing with the ATM, that is not because they are just stupid, it is because of something called the ADA. Americans with Disabilities Act. Under law, you must accomodate for people with disabilities. So they are not expecting anyone to use it, it just needs to be there. I did a report on it.

| | | This isn;t a contradiction, but this thread reminded me of it.
on the side of Nyquil sleep-aid, it says Warning: May cause drowsiness(one would hope)
On the side of Childrens Motrin it say's do not operate machinery after taking.( Gotta watch out for those 5-yr old tractor drivers)
