Logical fallacies discussion

Overview

After reviewing the powerpoint slides on logical fallacies, come up with two real life examples of people using logical fallacies. It would be better if you use public examples, from media, rather than personal ones.

For example, on the radio I frequently hear an ad for a car dealer in LaGrange (I believe it is LaGrange Toyota, but don't hold me to that). In their ad, they say "200 customers a month can't be wrong". Well, why can't they?

This is an example of Argumentum Ad Numerum (argument or appeal to numbers).

You may also comment on other people's examples, but this is not required.
