And so what?
However, the inventor of telephone was Antonio Meucci.

Damn patents! I guess when AG Bell came up with the claiming (and patent) of the invention Meucci said 'done', 'Ive seen it before', 'I have that in my book' or something like that to his friends.

The perfect irony, the decay of our illustrated knowledge of a way very amused. Let us ask to him an adolescent, and it will not nothing else know that of his idols. Very good campaign!

Live and learn!

Agree 100%
This is a really smart idea, maybe too smart for the teen target, but awesome after all.

Anyone explain me this?

No need to explain, let's focus again on the ad. Personally, I think it's really really good. You see? Coz It don't matter if the teenagers don't know who the historical character is. But when they see this, they will realize their own ignorance on the subject.
I can picture them saying: "oh yeah, I knew that one" Dont!

Peace and love, everybody. Love in every language possible.
