Proving a point

 "Educated people don't succum to the lure of shiny colours or attractive models, but instead look at price and need when buying something"

Is what I mentioned in my last blog post.

What I suggested by saying this is that we expect people with formal education to be able to understand scams and not be a dork and buy the product becuase a sexy Santa is advertising it. Smart people buy on reasoning and logic. If somthing is a food price or a good product then they buy it, not based on the ad.
In the book the only person with advanced formal education was Soaphead. I belive he had taken college courses in psychology. So by education standpoints he's the smartest character. But this isn't true, he's a pedophile, which isn't a good life choice. He's abusive and sick and horrible, but highly educated. This is a huge counter argument, based upon my claim you're suppost to expect educated people to be smart, or intelligent, which people arnt always even with college educations.
The only response I can give to this is that college educations are something that require some kind of intelligence. They rarely hand them out anymore, and if then you'd need vast amount of money to donate. And since intelligence equals wealth most of the time you'd need smart parents.
I'm getting off track. I don't buy clothing becuase the model is atteactive and I don't want to be like him. I don't buy a coke becuase the polar dub ear tells me to. Honestly I buy it becuase I know the reputation is good, nothing else.
