I agree completely. We need a law that says simply: It shall be illegal to do any misleading advertising.
Financial penalties would rapidly escalate and repeated offences would subject company owners to jail time.
The offender would be required to publish in a similar venue a statement admitting to, and apologizing for, the misleading advertising.
The test of misleading would be if average people would believe something untrue after viewing the ad.
