I didn't feel the need to watch the video but ya, the vast majority I find out there in the real world are clueless. I think anyway. I think I mentioned this before. I met some women who would never live in Las Vegas because all the nasty crime that CSI reports on....??????????????? I was speechless. Educated person. A physiotherapist. Those people don't have a hope in hell when it comes to advertizing gimmicks.
Somewhat off topic...

I am also speechless!
People are bombarded with such different and powerful stimuli from TV that the line between reality and fiction seems to completely disappear in their minds.

People want to get tricked...
I just read a book on it and apparently we are wired to look for confirmation, rather than look for denial. Apparently it has to do with precaution thingie evolutionary.
Imagine you see some stripes in the gras that look like a tiger
a) You belief it is a tiger: If you are wrong, you live anyways. You are right, you live.
b) You are critical and doubt it is a tiger: You are wrong, you die. You are right, you live.
Being over cautious make you stay alive and the little cost you have with being overcautiois will not shorten your reproducing ability.
The book described all sorts of experiments where people confirmed their initial thinking when it was objectively easy to deny it.
We just can't help it :/
