FTC Outlaws Personality

Mel,   The Federal Trade Commission announced today that starting January 1, 2017, the use of personality in marketing will be forbidden by federal law. According to the Office of the Executive Director, “Flamboyant personalities have foisted fraudulent schemes on the public for years, allowing enterprising individuals to prey on unsuspecting consumers who believed that they would receive benefits from their purchases.  "We are combating this by demanding the removal of all personality elements from advertising.” The Director of the FTC also informs us that the issuing of guarantees will be punished by federal prison sentences. In order to aid agents in rapid investigation of web merchants, layout of sales pages must conform to section 13.701.56 which dictates a standardized specification for sales information. Candidates running for political office in the Democratic and Republican parties will be exempt from these rules, as well as being exempt from all telemarketing and truth in advertising laws. These exemptions will not extend to Independent or Write-In candidates. The FTC’s new rules also provide additional stipulations: -All emails must be sent from government server and approved by US patent & trademark office – 18 months approval time -All sales and marketing departments having more than ten staff members must employ at least one homeless person. If said homeless person finds a home, a new one must be hired. -1 cent subsidy on emails and Facebook News Feed posts payable to United States Postal Service Finally, the new rules make provision for a “Compassion Clause” – 1% of companies will be selected at random, assets seized & liquidated, and given to the teachers union. The FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection stops unfair, deceptive and fraudulent business practices by conducting investigations and suing companies and people that break the law. If you find these regulations to be cause for concern, I urge you to write your congressman at once.
