I'm a PC (on drugs)!

WTF is up with the latest of these commercials, in which they use videos uploaded to their site? Are they trying for that rural, crystal meth crowd? At one point, bearded dude who appears to be about six tokes into his night announces the nonsequitor "I love to barbecue!" in a sing-song, drugged-out voice. He's followed by the proginy of some unholy union of Cosmo Kramer and Reverend Jim who stammers out "I eat pancakes."

Just... WTF?!?!?

 

Yeah. WTF is right.

 

The original couple of those were great --- much more effective response to Apple's "I'm a Mac" ads than Seinfeld was. The homebrew ones, not so much.

 

I thought this thread was going to be about the "Dude you're gettin' a Dell" kid getting busted with pot again.

 

Abysmal.

 

It seems insecure to me. No matter what innovative ad campaign they throw up, from 1984 to I'm a smarmy asshole Mac/I'm a fat functional PC, their share of the computer market is pretty minimal. Does Windows really have to respond that hard when they're going to dominate the market, even if their next OS is Windows Programmed By Retarded Rhesus Monkeys On Absinthe And PCP?

Apple should have gone the I'm a trendy awesome iPod/I'm a stupid ugly nobody wants me Zune route.

 

I would buy anything programmed with the help of absinthe and PCP

 

I'd cut out the middle man and go straight for the absinthe.

 

Well, if you're not hitting that PCP...
