It's a dishonest marketing tactic.

It's all over social media too. Just recently, Facebook. I saw it originally last year at another forum I once frequented.
Love it how they're so specific about these people's ancestry.

I have seen that video before. It is so hilarious.

As if their test is even remotely that accurate. And if I'm not mistaken, isn't the actual product accompanied by a fair few disclaimers and caveats?

This was bad on so many levels, I felt very uncomfortable watching it. :rolleyes:

I felt my ADNA results were a waste of money. If I had known they were so basic, I'd have not wasted the money.

It's just another all inclusive, feel good piece of media. So many will take it seriously. :shrug:

That is so true. So many people on YouTube reading their results with complete credulity, despite a genealogy (or even an ethnic background) that say otherwise. It's amazing.

Were they all (not very good) actors and actresses? It all seemed rather hammy/staged to me.
