Who said anything about lying or misleading? But mentioning ones weaknesses
is not what advertising is about. There is a whole gamut of grey in between
lying and misleading and bluntly stating the truth and that gamut is exactly
where good advertising lives.

Just look at Apple. I hate this company and their products but when it comes
to advertising, they know what they are doing. Slogans like this one is why
we can't compete with them out there IMHO. We can have all the freedom and
happiness in our ivory tower, but if we can't get it to users none of this
matters.

All of these are much better. I love "freedom is a feature", now *that* is a
good slogan. :)
