Buy Happiness

Why does this:
1. Seem badly thought out?
2. Seem horribly naff?
3. Make me think of drug pushers?

I would not have believed it if I had not seen it in my in-box this afternoon:
- -
"You know that feeling ... when you discover something that makes your life just that little bit better?"
Do I, have I got nothing better to do than analyse my feelings about biscuits or cups of tea?
Am I such a cretin that I think of computer programming on the same level as eating a biscuit or drinking a cup of tea?
Do I feel happy being talked at in cheap, journalistic sentences?
I mean, come on, if we are supposed to be computer scientists (that's what it was called when I was an undergraduate)
why the fudge are we being given the touchy-feely run-around in advertising like that when, surely, the obvious thing
would be to explain how the 'Enhancement Pack' would, err, enhance our programming work.
And, as to 'happiness', well, that's about as subjective as one can get. But personally, while I may be relatively pleased
to have worked my way through how to achieve a certain result re computer programming, I somehow don't equate that
with happiness.
