Mr. Topp and the Big Bad Blog

In 1997, a new product burst onto the scene: Baby Einstein. A video range that promised to turn your child into a genius, it was eventually bought by Disney, and expanded into a whole host of Baby [insert-genius-here] videos.

Surprise, surprise. Watching TV turns out not to create genius children, no matter how the video is designed. Because of this, Disney is now offering a refund to those who bought their videos and do not have a genius child.

The story makes it look like they’re offering exchanges for all video owners. However the opening paragraph makes it sound as though they’re offering refunds for those videos which did not work and create baby geniuses. I prefer the opening paragraph version.
