In #eee on white background and x-small font size, I believe. How about simply telling the truth?

Depends on the country. Australia has extremely strict laws about false advertising, and they carry stiff penalties.
The UK as well, and they stopped letting Apple run their iPhone ads which purported to have the entire internet, because they did not show Flash. I wonder if they still hold this position.
