Funny guys?
Now that Bill Gates is unemployed (sort of) and Jerry Seinfeld has nothing happening - I've never found him funny - it seems that they are trying to advertize something. What are they pitching? I really have no idea other than PC's and Microsoft sort of go together? Presumably, these are the opposite of those annoying and (often) misleading Mac adverts. Maybe it's all that negativity about Windows Mohave and why people aren't buying it and using it as much as Microsoft thought. Mohave? Yes, it's Vista - fooled you - or maybe not. The first non-ad showed the two new buddies trying on shoes and trying to act like 'normal' people. Yeah right! They both have and make more money than I'll ever see. However, the ad is fun in a strange voyeuristic way I suppose. The second ad is a even more fun and even more strange and detached from any particular product placement. I suppose the idea is that we get drawn into the strange world of the Bill and Jerry Show and we are then treated to a huge payoff episode down the line. Maybe. Like a train wreck, they are hard to take your eyes away from. Damn, I hate being so easily manipulated.
