"Best in the World"

This seems mainly a U.S. thing, but has anyone noticed how many things are claimed to be "The Best in the World", when either:

1) Which one is "best" is a matter of opinion.

2) Nobody else is the world does it.

3) The speaker has neither tried or seen every example 'in the world' of what they're talking about.

or

4) There is absolutely no certifying body or panel of judges to support such a claim.




So, next time you hear that statement remember that it's more than likely bullshit.

Well, except for this being the best advertisement for planned parenthood in the world. You can take that one to the bank.
