Update advertising signs

In a previous post I used these two images.

The American Bluedeer is an actual brand name(but the image is a moose). The picture of a deer says it is a horse, as a way of promoted the ability of advertising to twist the truth. Since then, I've seen 3 more such advertisements.

This one says "This is a tiger". meow

 This one says "This is a bird." (But a chicken is a bird, I think.)

 This one says "This is a man."

    Advertising does have a way of twisting the truth. Real estate ads here do a good job of that. Descriptions of views especially have to be interpreted. Breath-taking and sweeping view of water don't mean what you might expect. Then there is "old world charm", which means needs a lot of fixing. Someone probably has already written a blog on real estate expressions. Maybe I'll check into that.
