Seriously, this ad pricked a very annoyed nerve in me. I guess it'd work for some, but I think they have gone a bit too far using the "easy mode" advertising.

Tue, 04/21/2009 - 4:09pmThat is a marketing fail... but then, it's along the similar lines to this post over at Sociological Images.
Besides, I won't buy anything until they start marketing it to me with pale, scrawny, nocturnal goth cabana boys.

Tue, 04/21/2009 - 4:17pmYou want my roommate? Take him! (warning: he may stab you, or threaten to stab you with only minor provocation) Wait, all but the "cabana" part--googling that turned up "a small tent used as a dressing room beside the sea or a swimming pool " And i'm pretty sure he's not a tent, and much more sure he isn't made of fabric
