| Message | We support, but the wording is a bit too vague. What do you mean by "false" or "deceptive"? |
| Date | 13:24:04, October 26, 2007 CET | From | Neo-Epicurean Party | To | Debating the Advertising Regulations |
| Message | There should be some responsibility for truth in advertising. If an ad claims that a car has higher gas mileage, or that a medicine provides a cure for a certain disease, there should be penalties if the claims turn out not to be true. |
