greed for the big sale. Let a kid roll on a spit shake promise. Then blame the kid. I know who I'd blame.

Are there any stupid/dumb criminal awards or Darwin awards for things like this?

I think the new BMW designs are horrible.
There's no way I would own one, and people say the new iDrive system on the 7-series is bewildering.

"That kid must be one smooth talker!"

Yes, quite the persuasive speaker! I bet his brains and impressive talents could have been applied to and appreciated by his high school speech and debate team.
