Yep. I hate all the ads that imply something is free. If I'm buying a product and it comes in a case, the case isn't free. It is included in the price.

I just saw ads for New Year's Eve hotel packages in Atlantic City that did this. Pay "only $1,000" and you'll get a "free $100 dining certificate and a free breakfast buffet." What a great deal to give me all that "free" stuff for "only" $1,000.
