The ads invite hapless and put upon PC users to identify with your character, to see their own troubles represented in him, and (one hopes) see the obvious solution to which he remains in perpetual denial. This simply wouldn't work if the PC were unlikeable or presented as a villain.<BR/><BR/>On a side note, the ads show you do have talent as an actor, and I'd enjoy seeing you pursue that at some point. <BR/><BR/>Finally, it seems inevitable that <A HREF="http://podbrix.com/" REL="nofollow">these guys</A> must someday release a "PC and Mac commercial" playset -- figures of you and Justin against a white background -- following their sold-out <A HREF="http://podbrix.com/itemdetails.php?PID=540842596" REL="nofollow">1984</A> and <A HREF="http://podbrix.com/itemdetails.php?PID=162963500" REL="nofollow">Woz</A> and Steve Jobs models.

It is a very sad thing, and I do believe that the very ground itself has gone into Demeter-like mourning.<BR/><BR/>We, of course, have decided to follow the rumour that we can find you hosting a decade-related concert in November, and shall migrate into the City to pay proper homage to all things ten.Kelly Hillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15027400439081662699noreply@blogger.com
