Default Dude, you're gettin fired...

I read this in Sexswap this morning...
Stephen, that Dell dude that has sold more computers than I care to imagine, is being shown the door.
http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/interne...ell/index.html

... and just when we were all starting to like him.

I always thought they were funny. Just over the top enough to know that he was a goofball, yet I remembered the product.

James and I could never figure out why Dell got such an idiot as their spokesperson...

but the Dell interns are not any better if you ask me...

although the one commercial features Eric Wang who used to be on Star Trek Voyager.... He was cuter on STV though...

I've got a new Dell in transit to my house... just orfered a new laptop... altogether we have 6 Dells 4 laptops and 2 desktops.. lots for a house that typically builds every PC we've ever had...

Those were my sentiments exactly!!
everytime that commercial would air I could feel my skin start to crawl.. but- he is only an actor. sorry about his bad news - I wish him the best- I just hope I dont have to see that "dude" and his crafty little catch phrase EVER again.
good riddens!

I have nothing against Dell, all the computers in our office are Dell's. I like them. I just can't stand that aggrivating little nerd. He's the kind of person I'd like to just knock out if I ever saw him. And I'm not a violent person at all.

Ok, time to go take a Valium. lol

He's an actor, and gets paid everytime one of those commercials plays.

You guys might like him or hate him, but hes laughing all the way to the bank.

That compaign did exactly what it was suppose to, engrave Dell in your brain.. and increase sales.

My hats off to the marketing people at Dell, maybe they got some tips from Budweiser

"Dude, You've got Fired"

Man I know the majority of America's comsumer public are fucking morons, but do they have to rub it in the faces of intelligent people as well. That shit was lame, I'm glad it's run its course.

Typical Dell fashion if you ask me...thanks for making us millions, now please go fuck yourself and dont call us, we won't even refer you....

Dell is an evil Empire, beware DEll, buy Compaq...at least they used to be Canadian.

Hahahah--I thought he was charming. Spider hated him, I just thought he was a little "goofball" like modF stated. (Great word for him!! )

The one that makes both of OUR skin's crawl is that stupid kid on one of those car commercials. You know the one...the scary kid that whispers "zoom, zoom". **shudder** Makes you think he's got a big ol' machete behind his back!! AACCKK!! MAKE HIM GO AWAY!!!

hahahahha
Huggs!

If I were EVER to purchase a dell, it would be PURELY due to the Dell Dude!

Yeah, shes the smart one that always puts the guys in their place. The guys are dorks who work at Dell that don't realize that all the great ideas they come up with have already been done.

Guess they were trying to break down that "far away corporate" image they had as opposed to the "down home cows-home-on-the-range" feel good Gateway has always had with their cow colored boxes, etc...

Still a turn off for people who like Dells...

Ugh--I can't STAND that snotty intern bitch that they have on the Dell commercials now!! Sure, squash any and all creative idea's that people have--so that in the future, when they DO have a good idea, they'll never voice it for fear of sounding "Stupid".

I think MORE people should be able to think out loud without snotty bitches to downgrade and humiliate free-thinkers!!

Ggrrrr.................

LOL Huggs!
