Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Gates & the New Microsoft Ad…Really?!
Microsoft finally revealed it’s new commercial featuring funny-man Jerry Seinfeld.  Yes, the one that is supposed to “rival” the Mac ads with Justin Long.  And I use the word “rival” loosely. One can argue that the commercial is original, but I think the heads at Microsoft tried a bit too hard to connect to the audience with being overly ‘wacky’ and ‘hip.’  That is, if you can call eating a churro in a mall wacky and hip.  Basically, all the jokes m

For Just $10 Million, Jerry Seinfeld Gave Microsoft This Shoegazing Stumper [Jerry Seinfeld]
newVideoPlayer("/jsmicro_def.flv", 506, 423,""); In its bid to top the deceptively simple "I"m a Mac/I'm a PC" ad campaign of its rival, Microsoft went big, hiring auteur Michel Gondry to direct a commercial featuring Jerry Seinfeld alongside Bill Gates.

For that kind of cash, you might expect the end result to be an or

The only reference to Windows, the product it promotes, comes in the last half-second of the
