Imagine you're Bill Gates: Okay, so Apple grabbed P-funk's George Clinton and Einstein for the Think Different campaign, then slam dunks your street cred and annihilates your image with the Mac vs PC ads. You launched a product two years late, it sucked, and pretty much nobody wants. On top of that, you woke up one morning and discovered you left Steve Ballmer in charge now... It's not completely desperate, but you need something that's going to reinvigorate your brand and getting people talking about the wonders of your cash cow. Who do you pick? Of course! That irrepressible icon for middle class uber-white America that's over 50, Jerry Seinfeld! You remember him from his hit show a million years ago, right? And he's relevant to all the young kids now days... right? Didn't I see him up with JayZ at the Garden? Or out at Bonaroo? Yeah... Sienfeld... He'll be GREAT!
