The agriculture cartoon is referring to the continuous rise in global fuel costs. Most farmers are always aware of the fuel expenses and consumption, therefore are trying to cut down on their emissions and less use of equipment during the planting and harvest seasons. Anyone who is involved in agriculture is well aware of the skyrocketing costs involved in operating a farm. I often think when the equipment powerhouses like Case IH or John Deere will start producing more fuel-efficient hybrid tractors.

Fallacy: False Analogy  October 14, 2013

A false analogy is a comparison between any two things that are similar in some ways and different in others. It depends whether the argument is false or persuasive to determine the audiences skepticism about the product. The industries that often use false analogies include restaurants and automobile producers (mileage). This image is a advertisement for some of McDonalds sandwiches. They show how the cheese is melting on the bun, the condiments are crisp and fresh, and the warm burgers are larger in size. What makes this a false analogy is that their product is never like the pictures shown or advertised. Its usually a smaller, colder, and staler then advertised suppliment. Many restaurants use false analogies to bring people to purchase their cheap meals because of their pictures.
