Nation..
Earlier this month I wrote about Microsoft hiring Jerry Seinfeld as their spokesman. Well folks here is the out put. My opinion stands…pretty weak sauce.

I agree. Seinfeld + Gates have so much potential - it’s a little funny, but could be so much better.

My Wife and I had a long conversation about this… this is what we came up with.
Microsoft is trying to endear themselves to us. They’re trying to make Gates into someone cute and charming. They’re comparing their computers to comforting, easily consumed baked goods.
They’re mocking MAC by calling the overpriced shoe the “Conquistador” (as in conquering a country, culture or market) that everyone buys for no reason but status from stores that are like ridiculous “clown clubs.”
The commercial is not baffling. It’s downright demeaning to those of us that care about how we’re being advertised to. They let us down. Instead they said, “You’re too dumb to know better.”

I love the fact that Jerry is not seen using any sort of Microsoft product. Wouldn’t it be funny if in his contract there was a part that specified that he doesn’t have to make any direct endorsements of the product? haha
