mouseprint.org — The website, MousePrint.org, literally turns advertising on its head by focusing on an ad's asterisked fine print footnote rather than the headline. The goal is to help educate the public about the catches or "gotchas" in disclaimers, and to encourage advertisers to abandon the motto, "the big print giveth, and the little print taketh away."

Ya, the website's design is absolutely horrendous. Makes it really hard to focus on anything or get anything. Jeez.

How pointless. What does this site offer me? Yes it's fine print, but it's THERE. What dimwit who ignores fine print is going to take the time to visit this site? It's not like these are investigative reports to see how you are getting screwed. THE ADS TELL YOU. If you don't understand how a car could cost so little per month (hint: trade-in, large down payment or balloon payment, etc.) or why it might not be a good idea to return a car within 30 days (restocking fee, etc.) maybe you shouldn't be buying a car in the first place. Consult someone with a brain or better yet, stay off the road and away from me.

Why are toothpaste and toilet paper categorized under "Food?" No wonder Edgar is pissed! He's not getting as many toothpaste and toilet paper sandwhiches for his money as he used to.

Dear Diggers... the original poster picked an inside, non-story page of Mouse Print* to link to. Things will seem much more logical if you visit the homepage at <a class="user" href="http://www.mouseprint.org">http://www.mouseprint.org</a>

I think Meathead (loaf)'s "I want my money back" fits nicely.
