Ad nonsense

I was listening to a radio ad in between segments of the Rush Limbaugh radio program (guest host today, on a roll speaking about economic policy).

The ad was for one of those debt reduction services. The spokesperson said that the service could reduce the amount you owe "by up to half. Or more."

"Up to half" appears to cover everything from no reduction at all to a full 50 percent. With the "Or more" the ad appears to take the lid off (contradicting the "up to"), and for all we know the sky is the limit. Your creditors may end up owing you money!
