Microsoft tv ads

I would endorse anything for half that price

I didn't say people were going to boycott Microsoft over it, just that it was a stupid thing for him to say.

I'm not trying to agitate you, but, if there is no negative impact, what makes it stupid? Honestly, Bill Gates can say whatever he wants, none of it matters. I think that bothers him. Hence, the new ad campaign.

That was the entire point of what I originally posted. Bill Gates is a weird man who says weird things. I didn't say any of it actually mattered in the long run, just the the strangeness of the ads isn't an act, but how he really is. No normal businessman of such a high stature would admit to doing illegal things. They'd just say 'no' or 'but I didn't inhale'. Also, I'm not getting agitated or worked up or anything like that, just trying to express my idea. I don't really know how to do that over the internet without it seeming like I'm trying to defend myself

I think it's interesting that Seinfeld was even chosen by Microsoft. I always figured he was a Mac user.

Indeed he is. People are willing to endorse all sorts of crap for $10 Million.

Yet he never actually endorsed anything in those ads. It's almost like him and that ad agency simply played a big joke on Microsoft.
