What is "mouseprint"?

According the very helpful and vigilant Mouseprint.org :

"'mouse print' is the fine print in advertising, in a contract, or on a product label, often buried out of easy sight. In the worst cases, the mouse print changes the meaning of, or contradicts the primary claims or promises being made. Sometimes, the catch is not even disclosed."

Basically when you see an offer that seems too good to be true on T.V. and there's that giant paragraph at the end of thcommercialal written in letters so small that only a mouse with a photographic memory (or really good HDTV and TiVo) could tell you what it said - that's mouseprint.

Luckily, Mouseprint.org, is fighting for you, and you go there and look up all kinds of interesting things advertisers have tried to get away with.
