Dell Computer’s surfer dude guy is helping them win the battle against Gateway. “I would chose a Dell over a Gateway because Steven is cuter than Gateway’s cow,” says a 17-year-old female student. Hey, cows are cute too! While actor Benjamin Curtis is certainly pleased to be the focus of the successful ad campaign, he doesn’t want to suffer the typecasting that still plagues Keanu Reeves. And as “Dude, you’re gettin’ a Dell!” becomes the latest slang for “You rock!” Gateway really should find a new marketing hook that conjures up more than peaceful mooing. Got Gateway? Hmm, no, that’s not it. (via Obscure Store)
