I was watching the fashion slot on Monday with Peter Simon and the fashion guru. They were (mis)selling a pair of boots which they implied were Ugg related and made by the same company. It was very hard sell and extremely misleading. They referred to the lining of the boot being sheepskin and said that those infamous boots which many people are wearing cost around £180, and that this was the deal of the century to get these boots which are made by the same company, for a fraction of the price. This was the most blatant mis-selling example I have seen on the channel. Basically they are trying to pass off some polyester knock off under a similar brand which is made in China, rather than Australia. Why are these people still on the airwaves? Why isn't the company and the presenters being penalised for misleading people? We hear them often saying that they aren't allowed to tell untruths, and yet they don't just bend the rules, they are openly flouting them.
Sayings such as 'you don't get owt for nowt' and 'buyer beware' spring to mind. But this channel really has reached the bottom of the barrel.
