NOTE FROM KIM:

The popularity of Dell Computer’s recent “Dude,
you’re getting a Dell!” ad campaign makes you
wonder what phrases they rejected before coming up
with this winner…

The Top 8 Rejected Dell Slogans

8> “You can go straight to Dell.”

7> “Dell — like herpes, only you can get rid of it eventually.”

6> “Hey, it doesn’t suck as bad as the one you got now!”

5> “Dude, there ain’t no faster way to surf porn at work!”

4> “Yo quiero wacko Dell.”

3> “Every time someone buys a Macintosh, God kills a kitten.”

2> “Dude, a Mac would be easier to learn, more stable and more suited to your creative bent, but since you and your parents are zombies who believe everything they read or hear via mass media…you’re gettin’ a Dell!”

and the Number 1 Rejected Dell Slogan…

1> “Dude, it’s like a high-tech bong!”
