No one has done anything shady or illegal. "Ripoff" implies both.

popular catch phrase?
lol
you mean a popular advertising slogan already widely in use
and yah IMO it is shady,
I call it like I see it
and FYI: ripoff does not imply illegal
A ripoff is distinguished from a scam in that a scam involves wrongdoing such as fraud; a ripoff, on the other hand, is in the eye of the beholder.
In a related meaning, a ripoff is a blatant or unscrupulous copy or imitation. This is also known as a knockoff.
