but this one I've pointed out to my kids lately. It's for one of those spin mops. The irony is I own the mop - bought it a year or so ago. Love the mop. It actually works exactly as advertised.
But the ad is one of those cheesy infomercial types. It goes on and on about how 'fast' the mop cleans. It shows the spin mop along side other mops for a dirt demo and notes how FAST this mop cleans compared to the other mops.
LOLOL, it's because the people using the other mops are moving those mops at about 1/8th the speed that the other mop is moving. Of course the spin mop cleans faster. Because the person is MOVING IT FASTER. 
I made sure to show my kids the ad, so I can demonstrate to them just how advertisers like to manipulate people.
I've seen similar manipulations on stain removal commercials, or the 'zero' water filter.
