I would have thought that Microsoft is a bigger and more famous brand then Starbucks.

Other famous brands in Washington are Amazon and Boeing. ( Yes, Cal Boeing is hq'ed in Chicago, but they still are a huge presence in Washington.)

Super Creepy Rob Lowe was great, because it's Rob Lowe. 

I was at a bar somewhere recently when that commercial was on.  One young lady near me said to another that she's still f*ck Super Creepy Rob Lowe, I guess for pretty much the same reason.

:lol:

Of course, when it's Super Creepy derspiess or Super Creepy CdM, or even Super Creepier CdM, it just doesn't work that way.

Super Creepy Rob Lowe is not all that creepy and still very good looking.  The joke works because Rob Lowe was caught on film being super creepy.

Starbucks is a preferred brand of Apple users, so they're leveraging both consumer demos.

MSFT may be richer, but Starbucks would easily have higher "name on the street" popularity value.

Okocim's "O.K. Beer" is my preference.  As in criminal defense, as in beer marketing: it's all about managing expectations.

I think most people have forgotten about that, though.

He made a porno with some chicks.  Threeway IIRC.  Why is that creepy? :hmm:
