Great post Jon! I have been following the effort since you started it, and although I have understood its purpose this post does a really great job solidifying the full rationale.

Sometimes a product can be so wonderfully bad and naff and silly and overpriced that it transcends our built in common sense and taste filters (I'm thinking Macbook Pro here...) and we all rush in waving our fivers to own one. This, however is not an example of such a product.

Sometimes something is so bad, it becomes something good. This is not one of those times.
