People who buy Facebook phones do not go to museums. Best guess? People who buy Facebook phones are those whose mommies and daddies won't pay for their iPhone. The HTC First comes in at $100 with a 2-year and is all about drinking from a hose of kool-aid that most sensible people wouldn't point at somebody else.

As far as test-marketing, the point is reach. Offensive ads work just as well. That horrific Tibetan Tim Hutton Groupon commercial? Got the job done.

We should talk about idiocracy. It's a layer of satire most people don't get, including you, apparently.
