I guess a third hand would make it easier to deal with working directly from the skein?? It kinda reminds me of all the cheap product listings where knitting needles are pictured with crochet fabric/being modeled like crochet hooks (& vice versa)...
I didn't even notice the third hand! I was too busy worrying about her crooked needles and the 10-row drop stitches at her wrist. I definitely see what you mean re. poor advertising. It's like when a character's knitting on tv and they clearly don't know what they're doing!
