How many people have bought the Brooklyn Bridge?
I'm not a fan of people trying to take advantage of the ignorant or stupid. That sort of behavior is one of the reasons why it's hard for honest people to sell things in any venue and one of the reasons why we tolerate dishonesty even from supposedly reputable establishments such as retail chains. It screws up my life more than is necessary and, since complacency won't solve the problem, I call people out with fair regularity and even take down some of the truly despicable ads.
