SmartPhone clip-on lens BS

It's not even about the lenses, but the disclaimer...(color by me).

THIS IS AN ADVERTISEMENT AND NOT AN ACTUAL NEWS ARTICLE, BLOG, OR CONSUMER PROTECTION UPDATE.

THE STORY DEPICTED ON THIS SITE AND THE PERSON DEPICTED IN THE STORY ARE NOT ACTUAL NEWS. RATHER, THIS STORY IS BASED ON THE RESULTS THAT SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE USED THESE PRODUCTS HAVE ACHIEVED. THE RESULTS PORTRAYED IN THE STORY AND IN THE COMMENTS ARE ILLUSTRATIVE, AND MAY NOT BE THE RESULTS THAT YOU ACHIEVE WITH THESE PRODUCTS. THIS PAGE COULD RECEIVE COMPENSATION FOR CLICKS ON OR PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS FEATURED ON THIS SITE.

HDfx360 is getting compensated for sales of the HDfx360, and is a general interest website containing articles about a wide variety of subjects. Many of these articles are what is commonly referred to as advertorial, a combination of advertisement and editorial written in an editorial format as an independent news story. However, unlike an independent news story, an advertorial may promote a particular product or interest. Advertorials take factual information and report it in an editorial format to allow the author, often a company marketing its products, to enhance or explain certain elements to maintain the readers interest. A familiar example is an airline's in-flight magazines that provide an editorial reports about travel destinations to which the airline flies.

I think I get it.....you think you are getting bonafide information but are really getting a sales pitch?

Sort of like those damn squirrels that I see roaming about here handing out "Awards" and making people feel accomplished when all they are really doing is promoting long tailed rodents?

Regards!
