Default "The price has increased due to..."

The old advertising joke -- "The price has increased, due to the inclusion of a free gift..." is sometimes a reality -- thanks to WEASEL WORDS...

Example -- Allstate has a special "safe driver" policy, where you get "rewarded" with a "rebate" check for every year you go without an (auto) accident -- but the fine print says you must PAY (monthly) for that option (!!).

HUH?!?!

I HATE weasel words!!
