Bait and switch is when a merchant advertises goods which they don't have at a cheap price, in order to inveigle you into buying something more expensive when you show up. It's a far, far reach to apply that to an enticing header and it's irresponsible to bandy about the word "illegal" when it's nothing of the kind.

ETA: I quoted Jon's post in its entirety when I clicked on it. I'll note that this thread advertises nothing and it suggests a first Kindle, not a new and different one.
