The abuse of NASA scientists. (Kinda)

[Barakuda]

You know, in about every stuffty commercial, it's like: ''This Shrink-O-Slim Genie Diet Ball 3000 was developed by the NASA scientist or something.''
Or: ''These pillows were developed by the NASA scientists to ensure comfort to the astronauts during takeoff.''

And I haven't seen much of their Cosmo stuff lately.

Discuss.

The target of those commercials are stupid

Stupid people think smart people are magic
ergo
If it's designed by smart people it must be magic.

You mean that pillow I bought really wasn't used in space travel? :(

Because intelligent people never fail.
That's why I never trust the "Whatshisface at NASA developed this thingermajig for soandso so it's guaranteed to work!" commercials because they're fake.

No. It was a lie...

NASA researchers developed the material used in those magic pillows.
