They don't grasp how much they hurt themselves with crap like that. If your product isn't good enough to be used in the commercial, then don't sell it.
That video was hilarious. This is why false advertising shouldn't exist especially when it's about showing how your product works. You can't just show people in ads how the product works drastically better than it actually does in reality. A lot of people would buy it thinking it actually works like advertised. That's just wrong.
Nokia is a company with over 100 years of success behind it, and it approaches new products with the concomitant confidence: they really believe the engineers will be able to pull off whatever the marketers come up with. (Even after, as the video shows, the top of the line N97 fell far short of the hype.)
