language gripes

i just saw an ad for a movie called Defiance, boasting that it is 'based on the untold true story.' Call me crazy, but if the story is untold then how do you know to make a movie about it? And wouldn't the movie then TELL the story?

There's an ad for NutriSystem running these days where a customer happily exclaims that "each meal is better than the next!!" i'm pretty sure that would mean each successive meal would get worse and worse until they were flash frozen dishes of poo.

Who is greenlighting these million dollar ad campaigns??
