I'm afraid that bit is, erm...a little unintelligible (pun intended ). Sorry, no offence intended. All I can say is that none of the images actually refer to auditory experience - only what is required to physically use NVA (or to have an open mind about NVA). The images make no mention of what you should or shouldn't hear.

Well, I believe that you are offended (so I was wrong about one thing). You've no need to be offended, though.

intellect, I'm not shy about that either.

I don't think that I, or anyone else here, or the images, have suggested you do otherwise.

I've explained the context of the images...you could take that context into account before commenting.

Paul, the campaign is fine.
It’s obviously humourous, and entirely in keeping with modern advertising styles.

Thanks, Doc.

Humour is subjective, I guess...

I think "commen sense" would be more apt than "intelegent" in some of the captions.

'Intelligence required' sounds preachy and condescending. I would suggest drop both words and suggest the slogan 'Common sense design' or something implying another positive attribute of the product and company.

The campaign is meant to be humorous and challenging. It's designed to provoke thought.

It's not going to change.

If I do need something really boring, though, then I will give you a shout

Well some people don't get your sense of humour obviously from previous posts.

Devastating, as it is, to find that my humour is not omnipotent, I will live with it.

If it helps, think of these NVA ads as something that Dominic Cummings might put on the side of a bus (but without lyiing).
