FLY TRAP

There are some things that people write on advertisements that appear as you are perusing the web.  They are meant to grab you away from what you are doing to the marvelous idea of what they are offering.  I treat such attempts with scorn, do you?  You know them by the phrases they use such as:

 - - (blank) don’t want you to know. . .
 - - (blank) is hiding this (blank) . . .
 - - Guys are obsessed with (blank)
 - - must see (blank)
 - - (blank) can’t do without (blank) . . .
 - - what (blank) won’t tell you . . .

If you fall into this trap you find yourself in a very, very long description of the process or object that will promise to disclose what it is further on in the article.  You must read further to get to the point.  When you get there you find that, although this item is "free", it costs money; or it might require you to disclose personal information.  You have fallen into a Venus fly trap.  You should have known better.
