Rubbish, lying to deceive IS advertising. It isn't. Advertising at a fundamental level is about spreading brand awareness. What WWE are trying to do here is deceive people about one of their product's popularity, which fools nobody since it's so self-evidentally transparent because the people they are trying to con (hardcore wrestling fans) would have the means to find out that it's bullshit editing.

That's pathetic, hilarious and awesome all somehow at the same time.

It's still real to me, dammit!

Meh, who cares. It's advertising. You lot expecting it to be real or something, dammit ? Yes There's a big difference between using artistic licence, and overtly trying to deceive the consumer. Not really. Those women on those female toiletries commercials in the white jeans on the motorbike likely are neither having their period or are that thrilled about it when they do. They manipulated a reaction to use in a different context. Nobody was deceived at all no more than dubbing canned laughter from one joke in a sitcom to another joke to make it seem funnier than it was is a 'deception' Sometimes I think wrestling fans maybe need to take a day off.
