But if they always did that the human race would never progress.  You cater to stupid, you get stupid.  You challenge the stupid, you get slightly less stupid.  It\'s a long, tedious process, but I\'m glad to see that SONY decided to take the road to educating America.

When you have around 2-3 mintues at most to sell an item, you do not focus on educating the audience. You focus on showing the item and selling it. You focus on the great aspects of that item and what it offers that the others don\'t. You don\'t try to educate them. Sony made that mistake. They give you no clue onto what the PS2 is and what it can do. Instead, they assume the mass population will understand "PS9" and other things.

What do you know?  psst. you\'re not an ad-man, are you?  Here I am, trying to change the world, and all I get is "people are stupid."  Well when I evolve into a higher being, you\'ll be sorry!

Note to the stupid people:  This is an example of sarcasm.  It\'s when I talk like I\'m a crazy b\'tch, but I\'m not.
