Have you seen the one advertising a 1-800 number, touting itself as a great way to ‘make new friends?’ On the screen is a lovely young woman all dressed up with her perfect hair and make-up, sitting alone in her living room late at night, talking on the phone to a stranger looking happy as can be? Smiling into the camera lens she assures us that she can meet ‘lots of really great guys’ this way and we should all make a note of the number and start calling it! She fails to mention that the men are not interested in friendship but rather in shall we say ‘stimulating conversation!’ She also fails to mention that she has never actually met any of these ‘really great guys’ she’s talking to. If she did she’d probably be too dead to be in this commercial in the first place!
