There certainly has been a lot of heated discussion about Microsoft's latest "You find it, you keep it" Laptop Hunters ad campaign.

Obviously nothing serious (or PC, in this sense of the term) in the parody, short of the clip's authors playing with the idea of a "real person" buying a PC, rather than a paid actor. It's as if someone followed Adrian Kingsley-Hughes' ad roadmap, no?
