    The thing is that the reason that ads have to include the small print is because of ASA rulings preventing them from misleading the public with any/all of the examples above. Would you rather they failed to provide the information that might help inform your decision?

    Nope, I want honesty in advertising. Advertising mascara on a model with lash extensions is basically dishonest. If they didn't use the extensions then they wouldn't need the small sprint. This enables the mascara buyer to make a better informed choice.
