We're watching golf and there was just a FedEx commercial where a guy is very obviously lying to his boss about "taking the day off to care for a sick daughter". The joke is that he wants to play golf so he's going to lie about a sick child to do it.

The ad bugs me. They're saying it's great to lie so you can play golf? I know I'm being too serious about it smile But still, that seems a negative impression for a company to want to give ...

"Go with FedEx - we endorse lying. Oh, where is your package? It'll be there soon! Really!"

Lisa I hate that commercial. There is no connection with what is suppose to be advertized. It is a complete hoax and it makes it seem like people have to lie to go play golf. mad

I keep thinking what a dumb boss to fall for such a hoax as it is obvious that he is off to play golf. I sometimes wonder who are these guys making up these commercial there are so many stupid one and that is when I change channels. sick

Right aren't we supposed to create positive mental associations with golf? Like learning about honor and integrity and sportsmanship? On one hand the "learn Golf" ads say explicitly that golf teaches you to be a good team player - and then the FedEx ads say that golfers take off on their co-workers and lie about what they're doing ...
