Keep in mind that the guy in the commercial is pretty attractive too. So, only attractive women get diamonds, and only studly men with senior management hairstyles can afford them. Then they all go mate like bunnies until the mothership takes them back to Zorgdoo.
The rest of us just bask in their glow while they favor us with their presence, then they leave us broken, hairless, and toussled in spirit. That's why we have so many portable electronic devices these days, to keep our minds off our sorrow from being abandoned by the pretty people. That's the second part of the plan.
Step 1> Diamonds for the pretty people.
Step 2> Cell phones and PSP's for the ugly gits.
Step 3> ????
Step 4> Profit.
Oh, and don't forget, if you get a diamond for your mate, you have to give it to her while David Bowie's "Pressure" is playing, or in front of a secret cabal of relatives who you have shipped to Rome to witness a renewal of vows.
