HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I found that rather funny!
Although, I didn't like the fishing or the basketball hoop action.

I feel like engaging in similar activities when it takes my laptop twenty minutes to load foxfire stressed It is probably due to the fact that it was around five hundred dollars sweatdrop

My goodness, people, please try to pay attention to what's going on. It's not a bunch of guys with too much time on their hands. It's a commercial that's trying to make a point - that a lot of people are too chained to their TVs and computers to go out and live their lives. They aren't getting enough excercise and they aren't going out with their friends and socializing.
The point of the view is that you don't need to be hunched over in front of a computer to have fun. You can go outside and go sledding, play basketball, go fishing, etc...
Here in Canada, we have a whole series of commercials with the message "press pause to play" with the same goal.
Honestly...

True...but they could have filmed THAT instead of doing it with laptops. You know, with regular fishing, outdoor games, with people doing stuff WITHOUT their laptops.
Maybe I'm just a computer geek...but if anyone did that to my laptop...I'd have to do something about it. xp

It'll help your computer run faster. I can walk you through it if you need it.

They probably bought up some, or used old ones that were being replaced. And honestly, I think it proves the point they were making a lot better. It's funny, it's shocking, it gets you to notice the commercial (enough for someone to come on Gaia and post about it). That's what they want. People just playing basketball would not have had the same effect. They have to be outrageous so that people will actually pay attention and listen to the message they are sending.

 What the bloody hell was that? This is a scandalous abuse of perfectly good money to even make those laptops in the first place!You can paint your life a rainbow of colors.

True enough. My laptop may give me hell once in a while but I still wouldn't let ANYONE do that to it. It has sentimental value, for an aunt of mine gave it to me as a graduation gift, and I rarely see her, so this laptop links me to her, in a way, you know?

when i first watched it i was shocked that anyone would abuse thier machine that much, then i realized that they were probably empty shells, but still, it was kind of sickening to see computers being abused like that.
then again, i remember seeing a laptop that the cover had been hand painted with a luner landscape and thinking it was strangely beautiful, even if it was bad for the machine.

Ok, first, I would never do anything like that to a laptop and if I saw someone do it in real life, I would definately say something. But honestly, I laughed out loud! Those guys were just having fun, and I thought they were pretty creative. My favorite was at the end when they were playing that new olympic game (I can't remember the name of it.) when they melt the ice to make the *laptop* go straight. Hilarious! rofl

Miko_Sohma That's hilarious. rofl Sometimes I feel like doing that to my laptop, actually. domokun Had anyone here heard of "Global Shutdown Day" before seeing this? I hadn't, and I kind of wish I had participated in it. I had never heard of that until someone sent me the link. Ironically, though, on that day, the batteries on my laptop died and I didn't have the charger on me, so I was without the computer for the whole day.
