A cool video!
I agree with the sentiments entirely.

Reminded me of something that I was told back in the days when I had to stand in front of people to sell stuff.

When people get angry with us it is not that they are angry at us. Usually they are angry at themselves - in this case for missing out on an offer.
That's why taking these things personally is not a good idea.

OK, so we can do stuff to help make sure that people have a reasonable chance of getting the offer - if you want to make folks angry advertise a special offer and make sure that almost nobody can get it - this is nothing new, retailers have been making that mistake for decades, the difference is that nowadays it is easier for people to have a rant and a moan at folks other than their husbands and wives.
