It's Ron White who does it. He says it's close to truth in advertising. DeBeers keeps changing their slogan.
It was first "Diamonds.. are forever."
Then it was "this year, take her breath away."
"Diamonds.. render her speechless."
Well why don't they just come out and say it.
"Diamonds.. That'll shut her up......for a minute."
lol....I just realized that the "CZ" you were referring to is Cubic Zirconia. I had originally thought you meant Ceska Zbrojovka (a gun).
There's the real key! Nothing DeBeers has can compare to the caring of someone choosing something that we truly love. A small gift from the heart is worth more than all the diamonds in DeBeer's warehouse! :-)
The DeBeers ads for diamonds are about as subtle as the ads for Viagra. I hate to point out the vulgarity in the ads, but have to--they scream to men, "buy her a diamond and you'll get some". The ads also work on women's psyches as well (in ways pointed out above), so I guess the ads are equal opportunity disgusting.
You don't say...
