Marketing Mayhem


It is time for me to dog pile on the Microsoft commercials. First of all, who under the age of 25 really cares what Jerry Seinfeld has to say? Maybe everyone...or maybe no one.

It appears that they are trying to merge the "something about nothing" format of the show Seinfeld with the quirky styles of the movie Napoleon Dynamite. The result...what the heck is going on here?

The Apple spots are funny and make a very strong point about the product and the personality of the brand. The Microsoft commercials show me what two really rich guys will look like when they hit 50.

Hey Bill and Jerry

In your next spot, please walk me through how to put Windows XP back on my laptop.
