While the article discusses timing and such, IMO it just shows that these deals are all irrational. The people paying these massive sums are never actually forced to justify the costs. The advertisers just step up and say "Thank you, can I have another?". Everybody involved has a vested interest in continuing the con that this makes any sense. If somebody says the emperor has no cloths, they are bought off/silenced. As long as everybody makes money and the businesses that are overpaying for this nonsense don't realize it and stop buying, it will continue.
