Fake Advertisement

An advertisement that lies about what is actually in the game. These ads will interest people and tempt them to play the game. Then, once they play the game they will realize that it is not what they actually wanted and the game will get another installation. These can be spotted out by the ads having an animation instead of gameplay, ads that have that red fingernail girl's hand swiping around the screen, and the use of stock sound effects. Fake ads also have a very low budget. Some fake ads will use tower defense advertisements or other fun or exciting game types when in reality it's just another boring kingdom and civilisation building game with multiplayer battles.
This is usually how a fake ad will go:
Character is in trouble.
Floating hand presses buttons attempting to save the character, but instead making it worse
Big red circle with "FAIL" on it pops up, trying to tempt the watcher to installing it to see if they can do it themselves.
Other fake ads are ads that include sexual or kinky content. These ads will usually have the player or hand in the game trying to use an eraser tool to shave the women's clothes off. Then, right before they strip them, the advertisement stops or the hand will stop doing it.
"Oh cool. Finally a game where I get to play puzzles!"
"What? There's no puzzles here! This is a fake advertisement!"

e-advertiser

Someone online who announces certain accomplishments or upcoming events in a public forum, such as MSN, Online games, Message boards... etc. In many instances they will just slip it in a sentence to make it subtle, when it fact it's a blatant e-advertisement. The advertising is usually sexual conquest, or just a big "to-do" list that no one else cares about but are forced to read.
Your typical e-advertiser:

*While playing a game of DotA*
Annoying player: I just got LAID everyone, everything is fucked up right now, I wanna tell this girl I love her, but I'm only in it for the pussy!

---

*One of your friends has changed his name on msn*
"John Doe - Going to the cottage later, then to the beer drinking contest, then to the strip club, then to the brothel YAY!"

Honest Advertising

Advertising which is overtly transparent about the way in which it works.

In the past the phrase would have implied the relaying of accurate facts, figures and statements about a product as a way of convincing the customer to make a purchase; today the term has come to mean the honesty of the company about the mechanisms which it employs in order to persuade people to buy a particular product.

e.g. Morgan Spurlock's corporate expose, "The Greatest Movie Ever Sold".
Jesus! This new McDonalds ad is saying that the only reason why I eat Big Macs is because my body is physically addicted to the artificial flavour enhancers they use! As much as I think the food sucks, that is honest advertising!

Appeasement Advertising

When a company, in the midst of a scandal, public backlash, massive recall, etc., tries to cover mistakes by paying actors to pose as normal people and lie in a desperate effort to approve their image.
Tom: Dude, I'm not eating at Taco Bell anymore. Their meat's nasty.
Eric: But I just saw a commercial where their meat's 100% natural.
Tom: That's appeasement advertising. Don't buy into it!

false advertising

also false-advertising or false advertise n. Relates to instances on the internet (particularly, but not limited to gay culture) where non-desirable looking persons promote extremely favorable images of themselves, or others, in an effort to lead the viewer into believing that that is how the sender looks on a daily basis.
I went all the way across town to hook up with that guy last night because he wanted me really badly and looked really hot online, but when I got there that fugly slut opened the door and scared the crap out of me. I told him to stop false advertising and put up some pictures that looked like him and less like Ashton Kutcher, then I went home.
