Reminds me of the misleading Volvo ad that claimed 9 out of 10 Volvos driven (or purchased) in the past 10 years are still on the road.

Wait, how is the Volvo ad misleading?

Because when the slogan was created, many more Volvos had been sold within recent years and very few were sold at the 10-year mark. Also at the time, Volvo was known for 8-year buying plans, much longer than other car brands. (Over-priced, well branded.)

Ah, just like it's ridiculous to blame Obama for his first 6 months of office.

Makes sense.

Yesh.
