It is quite evident, I should think. I forgot to mention that when I say "lying", I usually mean "Something meant to deceive or give a wrong impression". Advertising fits this definition. This is a socially-acceptable form of lying. Advertising is innate -- even frogs advertise. Jay lie (lì) noun 1.A false statement deliberately presented as being true; a falsehood. 2.Something meant to deceive or give a wrong impression.
