The implication is simply "we think of you as a financial food trough". It's offensive by its nature. For one, I think I offer more to society than just being a resource for consumptive leeches to suckle on.
But that's exactly the problem for some companies.

No one is going to seek out manufacturers of fad items. (Tickle me Elmos, hoola hoops, even cell phones anymore.) The public has to be convinced to buy crap they don't need.
