If carmakers were more honest, they would be marketing automatic braking as “texting-enabling.”
If the prunes called Sunsweet Ones were sold more honestly, they would be called Twos.
In Week 1183 of The Style Invitational, we ask you to call out the who's-kidding-whom in the form above. And we have the results of Week 1179, which asked for fanciful ABC (or CBA, BCA, etc.) terms, like "Census Approximation Bureau: The government’s plan to save billions by hiring one guy to browse Google Maps on an iPhone."
In my online column The Style Conversational, I talk about the new contest and results, ponder what our next trophy will be to replace the Inkin' Memorial bobblehead, and invite you -- PERSONALLY -- to the next Loser Brunch, July 17.
