When I was in grad school, I read How to Lie With Statistics by Darrel Huff. It should be read by everyone who watches a TV ad or listens to ads on the radio. Something else that's interesting: Close your eyes and just listen to an ad that you are familiar with. Usually, you get a totally different picture.

This book is still easy to find! Wish they'd re-write it with modern examples.
