Why are they so insecure, that if they admitted they did it some loss of maturity would occur?
Seriously, as long as it doesn’t involve a visit to the padded room and a strait jacket why not?

How about these for an example:
Making screeching brake car sounds when turning a corner.
Humming the Jaws theme when sneaking up on a sleeping person.
Saying Meep Meep when you make a sudden stop after running.
My fav is the bionic sounds when lifting things.

Right, I can hear some of you saying “That is sooo childish”
My reply is “Reach behind and pull that stick out!” If an ‘adult’ can’t have fun why the hell carry on?

So come on guys, the next time you are alone, stick your arms out make a sharp turn and say “waaaroooo” or what ever come close to the sound Airwolf made when banking to avoid a missiles. 

If someone said something to you that is obviously an insult (if all of the above is to be believed) would you let them off the hook? Or would you bring it up?

This is not a question of being petty, this person then not long later tossed another insult, this time pertaining to my mother.

Maybe it’s is not considered an insult, just being mean.

Example:
Did you let a cockroach eat your hair?
I don’t know what conditions you live in but it never happened to me.

Would you laugh it off, do you find it funny?

Why haven’t I said/done anything yet? Logic dictates human nature needs to be polled and based on the collected results a decision can be made.

So now at most tweetups, look for #sgtweetup @ctham with gladly retell the tale much to the cheesy grin embarrassed look of @growlybear.

Well to top it all off there is an official website http://bumfondle.me
There you will find links to the underwear you can buy and the 2 podcasts from the Shareen & Joe Show.

@ctham my good pal for kopi and discussions on any topic. Beware he has a leaning towards the French Revolution’s way do doing things. Also photography if you are so inclined.

@JosephLane my good pal for coffee (although he is more than a continent away) good conversation and fun dude, not to forget his Jazz Hands!

@inrsoul wonderful guy to talk to, have a few drinks with.

@michaelhamster the cutest hamster around (a must follow like his owner above.)

Now not to be confused with just muscle bound he-men like Vin Deisel & Mark Whalberg there is also Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, Al Pacino & Robert Redford.

What did we learn? It is ok to have a mancrush, just don’t say you want to run your fingers along his shoulders and stare into his eyes. ;p

A $1,000 is a lot of dough to people in the current climate, and the ad hits us with this upper limit price 7 seconds in. I’m guessing that a lot of people switched off by that point before getting to the meat of the ad. On top of that, the $1,000 upper limit was also a bad idea given that the final system cost under $700 (I’d have set the limit at $750 given that outcome) and that it allowed Apple to sneak in a system priced at that upper limit (thus telling people that Apple have a notebook for $1,000).

Can you really buy a brand new Mac laptop for a $1,000 or less? But you can get a laptop running Microsoft Windows. So why a $1,000 price point? Simple, in this current climate you really have to be flush with cash to spend more. Thus anything less that can get you what “Lauren” wanted is a deal. The $750 final price just proved the point.
Please note, you can get even cheaper and more powerful systems if she wanted a desktop! But Lauren wanted a laptop.

Mistake #2 – Not hammering home the cost of a comparable Apple system

I think that the ad stumbles big style when it comes to handling the price difference between a 17-inch Mac system and the system that the red-headed Lauren ultimately buys from Best Buy.

In the ad Lauren says that in order to buy a Mac she’d have to double her budget of $1,000 if she was to be “cool enough to be a Mac person”. In reality a 17-inch MacBook Pro costs $2,799, so she’d need to triple her budget. Out it another way, she could have bought four of the notebooks she picked for that price. Most people would consider $2,800 to be a lot of cash and the contrast between the HP system and the MacBook Pro system.

Hammering home the cost? Why bother. The fact is, the price was set at a $1,000.
Anything more would seem like they were trying too hard to convince the wrong target audience.

Funny thing thought in an earlier post Adrian has the right idea in a way. It is what you can get for the price you want. What you can do with the OS you get.

“I’m just not cool enough to be a Mac person”
This is just the minor poke at the Apple Ads. Yes it is minor, because it is not the main thrust of the commercial.

Let me say for the record, the commercial did what it was supposed to do. Is it a success? Is it a failure? That my friends is up to you, and what you decide to buy. Me? I’ll buy a Mac when I find that the Mac can do something I need that my “PC” cannot do.
