"Mathematically Annoying Advertising"


My friend Anthony Lu suggested these comics to me, and I must say that I find them hilarious (and relevant to what we have been learning in economics)!

All three poke fun at advertisements that trick consumers, either because of the consumers' price confusion (in which consumers don't know how much goods and services are really worth) or misleading advertising that suggest that people aren't the rational actors classical economics assume them to be.
