QUESTION

Is this false advertisement?

Asked on Sep 17th, 2011 on Consumer Law - Wisconsin
More details to this question:
If a business advertises "Anything is Possible". There is no fine print on the bottom of the advertisement or exceptions after the radio ad. I go to the business asking "Is it possible for me to the this item for this price." and they say " No it is not possible." Is it considered false advertisement?

The standard for truth in advertising is the "take away" a person without a large degree of intellect or sophistication would have from such a statement.  No person who is able to read those words and understand that there is even a question can actually believe that they can name any price for a product.  The suggestion that this is "false advertising" is silly.
