On acne

I've been listening to some of the many mp3 file recordings I have on my hard drive, to free up some space, and was interested to hear an interview with Internet marketing pioneer Mark Joyner. He said that he felt that marketing which promised more than it could deliver was a form of lying, even if the promise is implicit rather than explicit, such as showing a guy with a beautiful girl. Curing your acne won't make you the most popular kid in school, for example. In my memory, marketing for Aesop was powerful, but it didn't make extraneous promises.
