Oh come on! That is the oldest excuse in the book for doing all the ‘little’ avairos, or to give in to ‘little’ tayvos!

“It’s better than what other people do out there” (*rolls eyes*).

Excuse me, but that is just pathetic! And although it is a test for me when you stick that $40,000 watch in my face, but the issue here is the WEARER of the watch! What’s HIS excuse for being insensitive to others walking around struggling to make end’s meet – which unfortunately is NOT an exaggeration). Where’s the tzniyus??

But getting back to the ads, it doesn’t belong in our frum Magazines, newspapers.
