I get the marketing principle.

In fact, I'm drafting a report on it.

Cry wolf, blame others, stir contravery, blah blah...

But just from the "art" side of marketing and advertising (which is both art and science), I have to say these ads or SO played out and SO lacking in creativity.

Yeah yeah, they still sell. (That's unfortunate).

But have some pride and create an original angle.

I just posted this as my facebook status:

"I just clicked an ad cause after reading the BS pitch (guru's robbing you blind... I am going to expose... blah blah ) I just wanted to cost whoever is running this ad some money. :-) Such UNCREATIVE marketing - the everyone lies except for me pitch. ... Here's a pencil. Go home. Write some copy. Make it suspenseful... and don't come back until something dope hits you... fk it... you can take this keyboard with you."
