When Bob Lutz complained that GM needed to revamp their adverting I wonder if this is what he had in mind? Good bad or in different? I kind of like it. I am still not old enough to consider one of their cars though.

According to the banned Super bowl ad they do. I am holding back all kinds of jokes here. The commercial was banned so it may not be safe for work. I am not sure I get the point of the campaign. I watched that ad numerous times and it doesn’t make me want to become a vegetarian.

I am a PC?

Here is Microsoft’s next jab at the Apple commercials. I like it much better than the first attempts. Still not sure it makes me want to buy a PC. Maybe it makes PC folks feel ok about owning a PC and not switching to mac.

The 1st Microsoft commercial with Jerry Seinfeld

admin — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 01:16:06 +0000

I am not sure what they are selling. It is only amusing if you know who Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld are.

UPDATEHere is the 2nd commercial. No more informative and still mildly amusing. After clicking the link to go to YouTube click the high quality button on the bottom right of the window before watching. If it says watch in normal quality you are good.
