New PC Ads

Has anyone seen the new PC ads? I'm not talking about the ones with Jerry Seinfeld, but the one's they'll be playing from now on. Here's an example.

I say it's about damn time.

Pretty clever response.

I really like the new commercials and think they are clever.

Before those, I enjoyed the Seinfeld commercials. Many people felt that the Seinfeld commercials were a waste. Here is what one Slashdot poster wrote about the last one with Gates and Seinfeld:

" They are staying with a family. The family obviously boards other people. The grandmother has been living there for 12 years. Maybe this is a reference to Windows 95 being ancient, but still kicking around the house.

While they are there, the little girl gets upset that she lost her room. Here they are calling non-Microsoft OS's bratty little girls.

The little girl gets her revenge by planting the stolen item in Gates' pack. This is either saying that other OS's use deception to get what they want. Gates, being the better man just leaves to let the bratty girl have her way, because there are bigger things to come.

I like understanding subtle undertones to what appears to be obvious. I also like listening to the words of "Hotel California". :)"

So, this person saw a deeper meaning to the commercial. I'm guess that he doesn't use a Mac.

LOL @ the last line of your post, Eric. When I watched the Seinfeld commercials, I just enjoyed them as a comedy short. I love Seinfeld, so his humor made me laugh; who cares what he was advertising.
