SAI: Are the laptop hunter ads* actually working?

*Oh, you know, the ones where the guy off-camera tells the mom and her kid, or the artsy girl, or the sort of hip dude, that they’ll give them $1500 to buy a laptop and the people can pocket the leftover cash or something?

Well apparently since those ads have been running, and you know, people continue to be unemployed and poor, apparently Apple’s “value perception” has gone down, while Microsoft’s has gone up.

If I were a more responsible blogger I’d actually find a link to the video of the ad, but I figure: a) the ads are kind of shit and no one would bother to rip that to put on YouTube, or b) people have already seen it because it’s an ad that they run ALL THE TIME.

Anyways, that short link sure got tl;dr quick. Oops!
