When will advertisers learn that it is BAD BUSINESS to annoy potential customers. Because of the utter stupidity of these ads, even if I ever were inclined to let an evil insidious piece of garbage Windows machine into my home I would actively avoid a Dell because of their annoying advertising. I’d definitely go Gateway. The same goes for Clairol Herbal Essences. I will NEVER purchase one of their products as long as they continue to run the idiotic “urge” woman who orgasms as magical hunks appear out of nowhere and shampoo her hair. Rob Reiner and Nora Ephron should sue them so hard! All that said, “Dude, you’re going to hell” is VERY funny. ---

Believe me, I hear more compliments than complaints about Steve. He’s not going away for a while. ---
