Poor, uneducated people are insane.  They see on TV they should use a 
Nike, so they'll buy even some cheap tennis clone made of cardboard if 
it has a Nike stamp on it.  They will buy a console looking like the hot 
new thing:  it plays games and *is* identical to the new stuff.  The 
evil effects of consumerism are particularly evil on poor people.

Funny thing is:  this brand stuff doesn't apply to food.  For instance, 
they will ditch a good quality brand of cookies in favor of cheaper, 
floor-and-water cookies.  Yeah, why have a delicious, enjoyable time 
with cookies when you can simply fill your stomach with 3 packs of 
tasteless floor-and-water for the same price?
