An individual wearing a suit, who is surrounded by complex-looking instruments, can be used in a variety of advertising campaigns to promote real products to a higher level of assumed value. People who run into a word they don't understand quickly think that the person who used it may have more knowledge than themselves, and this is an angle of attack for marketers.

It is a SciFi Channel show, Eureka! They speak 'Greek' all the time! Those are so funny and actually, remind me completely of a show that I am newly obsessed with, as of late.

I watched the first one and my thought process went from... is this a joke to what??? to wondering if that guy was a paid actor and if he had a clue as to what he was saying or of he was just making stuff up as he went. The 2nd description made it much clearer once he reminded me of my old high school days...I mean who could ever forget P=2.5C*6.7/N. Oh the good times of discussing that with the football team over CiCi's pizza. Wow.

Then I took 3 Advil, laughed for a bit while watching the second video repeat the same words but at a slower, easier to look up pace.
