As I have mentioned to many of you on the phone or elsewhere (and here in my FTC Disclosure Tips post), the new FTC disclosure rules are actually a great way to make a sale pitch and be a funny.
Here are some of the funniest FTC disclosures that I have found…so far.
John Chow:
“I make money from every post I put on this blog. If I’m not making money from every blog post, then it was an oversight on my part and it will be corrected soon…Just because I get paid to blog, tweet, wear T-shirts, etc. does NOT mean I will give you or your company a positive review, blog post or endorsement. As a matter of fact, chances are pretty high that I might slam you.”
James Jones:
And in the spirit of full disclosure (and future FTC regulations) I must state that I, James J. Jones, will earn a commission if you buy through the above link. Shocking I know! Damn evil capitalism is what you can blame it on. That and corporate greed. And George Bush (the young one not the older one who jumps out of airplanes — we like him.)
So, if you don’t want to line my pockets you can use the “non-commissionable” link below instead. Both the links are the same. Except the one above is nice and shiny and comes with the bonuses mentioned. The one below is sort of dull and worn out. And it doesn’t have any bonuses. But if you use the one below you will do so knowing that you are not contributing to the evil which is capitalism. (and I’ll probably still send you the bonuses anyway because I’m not gonna check)
Dirty Old Non-Commissionable Link
Oh, and if you use the non-commissionable link you may get warts. Not threatening you with a voodoo spell or anything like that. Just saying.
Or you could use some of these FTC Disclosures from Louis Gray:
