Putting the Cult before the compound

Doing things out of order - prioritizing the wrong aspect of a project or equation. A variation of “putting the cart before the horse”.

Max was really putting the cult before the compound when he bought a new suit to wear at my wedding before I even invited him.

Jimmy really put the cult before the compound when he bought a German Shepard with huge balls that pisses inside before he bought a house with a yard.

"before and after" photos

The total bu**s**t "comparison of status/condition" images that supposedly show how much someone/something has been improved by your advertised products/services/philosophies. Often the "after" photos will have been re-touched to make the "result" look far better than it actually was, or the two sets of photos have merely been "switched" --- i.e., the "before" photos are actually of the deplorable/decrepit way that the person/object **presently looks**, and the "after" photos show how the person/object looked BEFORE you started messing around with your precious quackola "treatments" or "improvements"... in other words, the situation is EVEN WORSE OFF NOW THAT YOU'VE PRACTICED YOUR ADVERTISED TREATMENT, NOT BETTER!!!

This advertisement's "before and after" photos of people who were supposedly helped immensely by this fad diet certainly do look impressive at first glance, but I can't help observing that many of the people look noticeably **older** in the "before" photos... interesting...
