What kind of business doesn't review their own advertisements? I get that they usually hire some 3rd party, but for you to not actually review what bullshit they tried pulling, is beyond unacceptable.
Dell should've assigned competent people to actually validate these claims - because any idiot could've caught Waldo on this one.
Seriously, this is how it should go: 1.) Hey, make some advisement's for us Mr. 3rd party. 2.) Awesome - now let Dave who is the run of the mill tech around here see how this sizes up to reality. 3.) What's that?! Dave said that you have no clue what you're talking about, and are purposely trying to deceive those without a brain.
It would've taken Dave, the run of the mill tech guy 5 seconds to spot this BS out. You're telling me they don't have the time, or money to pay someone who knows what they're talking about, to validate this sort of stuff?

Yes, Dell should have assigned a competent person to take the advertisement back to the tech department, but they didn't. I can almost guarantee it. No company wants to get caught in a blatant lie, and Dell got called out on this one FAST. The conversation probably went.
Advertiser: "Hey tech department, why should an average user buy a better graphics card?"
Tech Guy: <lost of mumbo jumbo> "... it looks better..." <more mumbo jumbo>
Advertiser goes off and creates add without going back to tech guy since he thinks he understands everything now
Yes, it would take 5 seconds for the tech guy to spot it, but they probably never gave him a chance because they think they know what they are doing. I have the same problem at my work where they tell me that it'll take me 1 week to replace the USB with UDP communications, and then I end up with 2 people working 5 months to re-write the entire program because they had no clue what they were asking for. Even if you tell them it'll take much longer they don't want to hear it so they ignore you.
I'm not saying that this is how it is supposed to be, just how it typically is.
