United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I actually don’t recall any car advertisement where a Human is present. Its always uber smooth driving conveniently never showing the driver.
Do have to make a note i am very advertisement-avoidant. I refuse to use many service that serves ads and actively try not to pay attention (mental health reasons) so my perspective is skewed on the topic.
I did see many fully rendered ads off all kinds used as examples in college for 3d modeling class. I was specifically thought that the majority of products we see advertised around us are rendered.
Rendering realistic humans beings is only possible since a few years and more expensive than its worth. It is reasonably save to assume humans in ads are mostly real footage. It doesn’t take away my point though.
There is still a huge difference in ability to conform to precise standards when comparing machined items and food because food simply has way more variables that can effect the looks. Also just imagine someone in the fast food joint having to expect every item to see if the pickle is presented exactly as the pictures or else trows the food away. Cars can just get the one part fixed.
None of this means we cant do much more to make food advertisements more honest and fair. Comparing cars to food is just more contrasting then apples and oranges.
Yeah I agree. In the UK it would come directly under false advertising. I have no idea how the laws in the US are applied.
