A lot more
could be written in entries for this topic, but going on for too long would be unfair vis-à-vis
other themes, which are as important as, or even more important than, this one.
So, here’s the full advertisement:
Lie buster - A Miracle of Modern Electronics
<< At last thanks to modern technology, there is a way to find out if people are telling the truth. The Liebuster looks just like an ordinary watch, but in fact it’s far more than that! In addition to telling the time, it buzzes when it detects a lie. The bigger the lie, the bigger the buzz. You will find it invaluable whether you're at home or at work. It is by far the smallest, most accurate, lie-detector ever made. It measures the stress in people's voices by means of high-tech microchips. In business negotiations, it will tell you if people are being dishonest with you. At home it can warn you if your girlfriend or boyfriend is lying when they tell you what they did that weekend when you were away on business.
Never
before has such an electronic miracle been sold at such a low price. So get
yours /one now while stocks last. Hurry! Don't wait / delay! Nobody can do without the Liebuster, the miracle of modern high- tech electronics!

And now, all things considered, you will find it easier
to agree with the fact that the context in which the lie is told is of
great significance. A lie told in order not to offend someone’s feelings is by all means less dangerous than one
told in order to gain fame, fortune, or glory…
