What?  No marketing language?  Where's the fun in that?  Marketing is cool!  Think about it: marketing is the art of subtle persuasion, for profit.  Some of our most cherished childhood memories are about marketing campaigns that worked, against all standards of reason and decorum, such as the KoolAid guy smashing thru a wall.  Not the lame cartoon version that came later, but the original.  Marketing brilliance!  The product itself was little better than revolting, but we loved the ads:

OK so... tone down the hyperbole, but marketing language allowed.  If it is fun advertising, it is encouraged.
