Smart Stages: Really Smart?

So, I'd seen this commercial for the Fisher Price Smart Stages Chair, and at first I'd thought it was a potty. Then they'd started speaking and I'd realized it was a learning and interaction chair.

I think it's just confusing to a child.

I'd seem this *weeks* ago and found it funny, partly because it's reasonably honest and true in its sentiments:

1) Josh Hutcherson is kind of adorable, but there are others who are stereotypically more "worthy" of lead guy.

2) There's quite a bit of eye candy in the movie, it seems (as I've not seen it myself).

3) This is the view most of the Catching Fire audience will have, or at least what they're looking for when watching the movie.

It's still hilarious, regardless of how much analysis one does on it.
