...vengeful FTC apparently spent the next half-decade sublimating in a 60-page report with all the appalled earnestness of a freshman college paper, only with really nice 3-D color charts. At one point it reads: "An ad for a product made from ground-up shells of shrimps, crabs and lobster asks, 'Have you ever seen an overweight fish?'... In fact there is no convincing evidence that the shells of shrimps, crabs or lobsters cause weight loss." Not only that, but, as I accidentally proved in third grade, you can indeed get a fish so fat that it will...

...person from me when he told me he never once, in the course his study, directly contacted one of the before-and-after women. Still, he seemed like a nice guy, until I found out that Cleland, 53, weighs 150 lbs. and is 5 ft. 11 in. This diet-ad thing, apparently, is just a way of rubbing people's faces...

McDonald's new national ad campaign will revolve around a national "dollar value menu" that will eventually include the Big 'N' Tasty burger, the McChicken sandwich and special sizes of fries, soda, salad and various desserts. It may not strike anyone as anything particularly new, but it will transmit a unified, consistent message about a bargain.

Some divorced couples stay civil for the sake of the children. TOM CRUISE and NICOLE KIDMAN are doing so for the sake of a lawsuit. The two claim that while they were still married (as they were in this photo), a perfume ad for cosmetics-store chain Sephora USA featured their picture, making it look as though they endorsed the product. Claiming that they served as "involuntary models without pay," they are suing for $15 million and say they hope the award will be tripled. They are also seeking unspecified punitive damages in light of what their lawyer called...
