You buy car. The car says it has brakes. The car only has brakes that work, though, when you are going less than 20mph.
Bummer for you, I guess. You should have known better. You should take responsibility for your own choice to buy that car! Why didn't you get under there and check the brakes thoroughly first? What, you want to sue? Everything they said was completely true, the car has brakes...
Admittedly, this is a silly and exaggerated example, but I personally have no doubt that a lot of advertising does this.
The problem isn't necessarily that people are stupid now. The problem is that things are more complex. It's not like most of my purchases are
And even food is hard, now, since we do such complex things to it and with it... heh.
