This for example is just...just awful. Also would you believe its Aston Kutcher star of Two and a Half Men.

False advertising is a massive crutch in the industry, Rule 3.1 "Advertisements must not materially mislead or be likely to do so." It very simply means if you make an advert that in anyway falsifies the way a product works can be sued, if they don't put a disclaimer. For example watching many of the adverts about skin cream you notice the Actors talk about how well it works and makes a difference every time. Because of False Advertising you can read at the bottom of the screen a small disclaimer, often showing results for tests E.G. "65.5% of 1000 women asked agreed." They have to have this here so the people who buy the products couldn't sue the company for saying the product works all the time. When the company themselves have proved it doesn't and have shown it on the advert.
