When those ads first started, I remember some speculating that the ads backfire because people end up liking John Hodgeman's lovable PC guy more than Justin Long's condescending Mac guy. But it doesn't matter because that's not how advertising work. Even if you love the PC guy more, he's still in a Mac ad and it's always a Mac product that they're talking about. The exposure ends up being to a Mac, and it's clear that these ads get results.
Insomnia sucks.
:lol:
Happy New Bridge Day!
Microsoft Drops Seinfeld For Its Own "PC Guy" in Phase 2 of Campaign
:|Quote:
"I'm a PC, and I've been made into a stereotype," says an actor who mimics Apple "PC Guy" John Hodgeman, in the new ad's opening sequence.
Seinfeld was likely paid $10 million for the work he did in that commercial.
Somewhere in that sentence is the essence of the problem Microsoft has as a company.
$300 million to tell people that billions of "real people" use PC? If you have that little confidence in your own operating system, maybe you should spend more time/money making them not shitty than making commercials pretending they're not shitty.
I bought these cans of Van Kamps Beanie Weenie's. I get home and see that just one can is two servings and that one serving has close to 1,200 mg's of sodium. Fuck.
Every single thing that tastes good is bad for you in some way.
Corporations are clearly lazier than I am :lol:Quote:

This shit is amazing.
HELL YES! V8 Fusion is so freakin good, especially the Peach Mango flavor and Strawberry Banana.
Let me know when V8 makes a sausage pizza or cheeseburger and fries.
Speaking of Seinfeld, has anyone seen that Sears TV commercial with that guy who looks and practically sounds like Seinfeld? It's one of the most annoying things I've ever seen.
Here it is.
Okay. Apparently I'm the only one who thinks he looks like Seinfeld.
I can see it.Quote:

A friend of mine is taking a racquetball course in college for a credit, and he's liking it, so he reserved a court at a gym for us tonight. I don't know the rules (I used to play what I'm sure is a bastardized version with my brother, which consisted of us hitting it as hard as humanly possible, and something about it not being allowed to bounce twice or something), but I'm psyched. I feel like I'm in Annie Hall or something.
Those "Real" fake characters are downright creepy.
Don't be silly--Woody Allen and his friend play racquetball in Manhattan, not Annie Hall.Quote:
