creator of masterpiece

there's this radio ad that really gets to me. it starts off by informing listeners about masterpieces and how it wouldn't be masterpieces without the creators (their names). then goes on to say your creation will not be a masterpiece without their product.
strange that they should acknowledge the creators of the masterpieces during 1st half of the commercial then 2nd half boast about how your work won't be a masterpiece without their product.

aaaa...... hello ??!!
it's like saying a good writer is only good coz they have a deluxe notebook or good photos are because of the camera.
can we fire the marketing manager who approved the ad and the copywritter who came out with it.
