Think Progess either got suckered, or is trying to pull a fast one.

The PPT document was created by six students as a class project in Florida last month. From the CNET article:

"The Think Progress article is hilarious," David MacLean, the Canadian member of the six-person student team from four different continents, told CNET on Wednesday. "We've had a really good laugh in the last day over this. This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen."

MacLean added: "It was a class project done at the Atlas think tank MBA program. We came up with the concept in a few days."
