Do you want a free Thai massage?

Hell Pizza is giving away Thai massages and ripping people off in the process.

All you have to do is order a premium pizza, wedges and 1.5L coke for $25 and the Thai massage is included in its hot as hell deal. So says the flier with a pic of a scantily clad Thai that I got in my letterbox today.

But then you read the small print:"Thai massage must be redeemed in Thailand on the day of purchase. Flights not included". Problem is that it is a Thai from New Zealand on the front cover of the flier. That's false advertising - a bit like Labour advertising its Working for Families package with a picture of an American family.

But then on the back, if you bother to read further small print, it says " Oh, and I`m sure it comes as no surprise, but we cant actually give you the Thai Massage".

How disappointing. It's a pretty bad deal - as you can get two pizzas - double classic and double premium - and wedges for $20.00, which is a much better deal. If you really want the added coke you would pay less than $25.00 and get more pizza than the massage deal. But if you want a good pizza deal you can get four large pizzas from Dominos for less than $25 this weekend.

So basically Hell Pizza is using a massage enticement to sell pizzas - but overinflating the price and not offering or providing the massage. Even without the massage the deal is not hot as hell at all - it's a hell of a bad deal - marketing to the brain dead.
