Such companies apparently believe that their target market comprises gleet-headed idiots who hold opinions of the sort Michel put forth in his article. Of course, no one equipped with a significant portion of cerebral cortex would be stupid enough to actually hold said opinions, so Michel's post must have been pure sarcasm. -- ... or perhaps his middle name is Jean-BIFF
