Either put a better camera in it, or go with a different type of commercial. Why even attempt to mislead?

Especially ice cream and cheese. But yeah like the above person said, completely different cases here. With the MCdonalds ad you're actually presented bread, meat, cheese and salad, which is exactly what you get. With the Nokia ad you're presented a DSLR in disguise, but you get a mobile phone.
I was kind of expecting them to find like 3 pixels on 1 frame which showed the DSLR, but it's just right fucking there
[QUOTE=Echidna666;37562076]But you do get that, sure it looks different, but you get it. Didn't this advert just lie completely?[/QUOTE] The ad advertised the new 920 with a optical stabilizer, known as floating lens or something like that. Then they show what optical stabilization is like off and on. But they showed the guy holding the phone. They didn't explicitly say that the video is from the phone but the commercial is about the phones optical stabilization.
To be honest the McDonalds and burger kings around my house their burgers look exactly like the picture/better. OR maybe its because I know all the people that work at both of them and they give me "duh hookup"
If you want to wait hours for a burger im sure they would make it nice a pretty for you.
This is exactly the kind of press Nokia needs after their share price plummeted right after launching their new flagship devices.

To me it just seems like they forgot to write the disclaimer at the bottom of the screen. Not really as big a deal if the phone will actually do what they say it will do.
