If the premise is that advertising should distract an audience’s attention from perceived a product’s shortcomings and not draw its attention to them, any advertisement that starts with the rhetorical, “who said that...” is getting things profoundly wrong. The classic case, the JC recalls from the Stilton Marketing Board poster in the tube a few years ago, was along these lines: {{quote|“Who...")
