The FuckMicrosoft Switch Ads.

[ravuya]

Just in case all of you still thought the Switch ads weren't effective enough, I propose we start a commercial where we take a Dell PC running Windows out into a warehouse floor and whale on it with sledgehammers. Curse repeatedly and laugh at its lameness.

Cut to Apple logo.

Fill in the tagline.

Have a Windows 98 computer running the Titanic, crash, and well, we all know what the Titanic did...

Or we could burn down the house of that "Dude, you're getting a dell!" guy, kill his family, and then make him use a mac.

We don't have to do the two former actions, but then it wouldn't be as much fun.

what if we put "dude" out on a warehouse floor and hit him with dell computers? or sledgehammers!

Shotgun Studios. Show the upgrade movie, then a black screen with the line "Apply the 12 gauge patch to Windows today, and buy an Apple."

SCENE: Burned out warehouse, car sitting nearby and Dell PC sitting unhappily in corner of room

ACTOR 1 (pointing at Dell): "Look at this shit. Isn't even a modern operating system."

ACTOR 2 (opening car trunk): "Well, let's fix this shit then."

ACTOR 1 (removing sledgehammer): "Fuck yes."

ACTOR 2 (beginning to whale on Dell): "Now kids, if you want REAL power in an operating system, pitch this piece of shit and buy a Mac."

ACTOR 1 (smashing front of case): "Sure, you pay a bit more, but, hell, you pay for a quality operating system and top-notch hardware support."

You get the idea.

I'm sure i'm conflicting the actual facts with the movie, but wtf,

wasn't there only 1 survivor ?

[Ctrl Alt Del 123]

There were a few Titanic survivors.

I like the dell for the fact that one crappy add that knowbody cares about on my website gets me $300 off any dell pc or laptop, and i can buy one with no OS too. Saving even more.

[Kintaro]

Why not a packard bell computer?

[lazygamer]

Does it matter who you buy your $3000 non-ub3r tweaked PC from? Aren't they all the same in the end? Unless im missing something about Dell.

I'd say if you wanna go the 3G route, get one of those "by gamerz for gamerz" systems, IE:Alienware, Falcon etc.
(that shit you see advertised in the computer game magazines)

I'd honestly feel a little bit better knowing that my comp is made by l33t d00dz and not a bunch of people who cater to newbies.

That stuff is way overpriced. I don't know why the hell people buy them.

It's probably the same reason why idiots pay $280 for windows xp professional; because they don't want to look like a minority in their little '31337' counter-strike clan circle.
