The most disturbing tech ad ever

From the people who spent BILLIONS on Vista, comes this GEM of an ad campaign:

$10 million. That's how much they're spending on the Jerry ads. I say this is Seinfield's way of sabotaging Microsoft. Steve Jobs, you're one devious fellow

I liked the XP version of Jerry Seinfeld much better. This Vista version is just too difficult to make sense of.

I just love the ending. Computers you can eat like cake. Adjust your shorts? It is really ridiculous, and will probably make people think. What will they think about? What the heck are they trying to say? Bill Agtes likes cheap stuff, so why pay more for a mac? Seinfeld knows how to sell shoes? Just depends who you're trying to reach. if it's the young funky people who will obviously be attracted to mac's... There's hope for that ad yet!

I really hope they had a point in mind. Because if you have to watch something more than once to get it, the commercial failed.
