First I laughed, but then I realised that advertizing like this borders fraud, imo. It's like advertising a car but not telling that it has no wheels.

In medieval, they had this wonderful thing, the pillory. I deeply regret that we do not have it anymore, and that pillorying a sentenced deliquent is not being done anymore because it might prove to be damaging to his future social chances. Putting somebody into shame still is a very effective stimulus to make somebody change his behaviour. the worst fraudsters are those who never have been made ashamed, knowing no shame therefore.
