Sun's Bold New Ad Campaign

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the funny-advertising-at-its-best dept.

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'"

    Dell followed up by sending a B-52 on a bomb run over Sun headquarters. Sun was not available for comment.

      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?

      Yeah, but unlike a certain Utah CEO, it's funny insane, not dangerous tom himself and others insane.

    20 comments, and the images are still available. I guess the new servers are ass-kickin machines.

    Reminds me of when Sony launched the PlayStation. They sent out a guy in a Crash Bandicoot outfit to harrass Sega execs on the golf course, and caught it all on film.

    That porno-mag style interview with the SunFire server near the fire place is very interesting - more proof that porn and technology go hand in hand. What kind of website would reliable, beefy server hardware be more suited to than a pr0n operation?

    Dell, the name Osama Bin Laden swears by.

    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.

    Why, just last week, I ran through the neighborhood screaming "I HAVE CABLE TELEVISION!". Nobody seemed to care, though.

    The 1RU has dual power supplies. I like that. The Dell might as well, but personally I'd buy a Sun over a Dell. But then I'd rather wax my butt crack with an angry wasp than buy a Dell.
