When a Product FAILS, do you buy more of it?

[Sparkly]

Let's say you bought a monthly extermination service, and the in two months your bug problem was worse than before. If the salesman said, "See, this is exactly why you need our extermination service -- these bugs are BAD" -- would you buy into it?

What if you joined a weight-loss support group, and followed all its diet plans, and within a month you gained 30 pounds. If the group's organizer said, "See, you're fat, and this is exactly why you need to stick with us as a member" -- would you buy into it?

Whether it's an acne solution that makes you break out worse, or a medicine that makes you sicker, or whatever, would you keep faith in something that makes a situation WORSE?

Then why is counter-terrorism Chimpy's "strong suit?"

1. Some people do - when they're told it's their fault for not buying MORE.

When the company tries to sell you their Top-of-the-Line 'service' that'd cost you your first born child and you opt for something less, they'll INVARIABLY blame their own failure on your penny-pinching ways. People with low self-esteem fall for it.

2. If a corporation has to declare bankruptcy

do you re-hire the CEO?

3. Say loud and often enough that buying something is patriotic

and you'll always find people willing to buy it.

4. 42% (at last poll) still fall into the trap

What a shame that they are so gullible.

5. Goes hand in hand with ...

using the current situation in Iraq, as the reason we need to be in Iraq.

8. Hmm... Interesting analogy.

Maybe the rightwingers have a sort of addiction. (Sing along: "Might as well face it you're addicted to Lies...")
