Good Lord am I sick of the modern "pointlessly ambiguous teasing" method of marketing. Just tell us already!

We live in the Age of the Perpetual Hype Machine. Doesn't matter what it is, what it does, who wants it, or whether they wouldn't get just as stoked or more if you just plain told them what it was, you have to build up The Hype, or the Marketing Gods will be angry!
