It's a safe bet that this product is not for you. Constructive comments are one thing, but anger over the fact that the value prop of a kid's game doesn't resonate with you is...awkward.

I"m not angry, although I am confused and mildly irritated that stuff keeps making it to the front page of HN where the page just doesn't tell you what it is.

As for the product not being for me, kids don't buy this stuff themselves. Their parents buy it. As the electronics-happy parent of a small child, I'm pretty sure I'd be right smack in the middle of the target demographic for this product if I had some clue of what it actually did.

That "confusion and mild irritation" is what I'm talking about. If you don't think their marketing page is up to your standards maybe constructive commentary based on your apparent demographic suitability would be a bit more helpful?
Reminding people that they need to remember to put in a couple of sentences describing the basic function of their product is constructive.

I didn't state it in a very friendly way, but that's a different issue.
