So bad it's good.

"So the lesson here, if there is one, is that if you product is mediocre or worse, you might just try to market it as ridiculous instead of trying to put lipstick on a pig."

This is a really good point. If the author do a little bit more research, expand on the premise further, and apply it to a few other failed products, this would actually be a valuable marketing article.

Maybe I will write.

I feel bad that an article of this quality can onto news.ycombinator front-page :(

It maybe a little funny, but it shouldn't be here...

EDIT: I completely forgot about flagging articles, should have just done that
