Sun's Bold New Ad Campaign 426
Celeritas writes "Sun is making some noise over their latest x64server entries by doing a fly by over Dell's HQ yesterday. A few pictures were snapped to capture the event. Sun has continued the offensive by running some interesting ads as well as designing some that were rejected due to the controversial content or as Sun calls them 'bold ad concepts'"

Worked well for John Romero, I'm sure it would work great for Sun.
I'm just surprised they didn't call the server line "Xtreeeme64".

When you buy Dell, it makes the baby Jesus cry. You don't want to make the baby Jesus cry, do you?
Hey Dell, we just fucked your girlfriend.

I am forced to conclude these marketing shops hire chimps as editors.

Hell, I thought they were just gonna toss the thing over the side of the cockpit. With a B-52 they could drop mainframes.
billy - remember mainframes?

Considering Dell is Microsoft's and Intel's crack whore, I hope Sun wore protection.

- Apple Ipod - fucking Apple, forcing that shiny 40gb mp3 player down my throat.
- Satallite Radio - what fucktard thought it would be intelligent to beam radio from space directly to me, particuarly when im watching TV
- Tivo - I wish I could skip through this Tivo commercial.
- The original 1984 Mac - what a horrible flop THAT was, clearly the largest waste of an ad campaign eVAR!
But *incredible* products just fly off the shelf at their own free will, with no advertising what so ever! Like...- Segway - I've never seen an ad for a segway! These devices are going to CHANGE THE FUCKING WAY WE BUILD CITIES!!!
- Rokr - Subpar MP3 and Cell Phone in the same device; that's the wave of the future. All the advertising money spent on Nano? No worries, Rokr will change the future.
- Daikatana - If youre still reading, I eat people.
Wait.... a CS nerd, who hasn't changed in three weeks, calls out a 10 billion-dollar-a-month-industry that is Advertising -- on the amazing revelation that "good products sell themselves"?

Informed Customers would rather wax their butt cracks with an angry wasp than buy a Dell. On the other hand, they like our dual power supplies.
