Real Fakes

I take most advertising with a grain of salt, heck with a whole bucket of salt. I'm not an easy sell and have become even more "ad resistant" over the years. But the following caught my eye, and as an English teacher I was floored.

Genuine real imitation diamonds like you've never seen them before! Diamonaire for the discerning.

Strange world we live in where you can have real imitations--as opposed to what? Imitation imitations? And if it's only an imitation imitation wouldn't that make it real?

Let the buyer be ware!

I saw an ad for "labratory created emeralds. It's the real thing." Still trying to figure out the real what thing of this thing.
