Title: labtop?
Post by: harris on June 10, 2008, 11:57:26 PM

has anyone else seen the blue hippo commercial that repeatedly says the word LABTOP? are the words interchangable or what? if not then this company has a lot of balls to try and pull this off.

if youre still lost, it is a commercial for a discount computer where 'all you need is a checking account!'

the guy says "You can choose between a desktop or the convenience of a labtop."

He has a lisp. He'd prefer if you didn't make fun of it.

I'm pretty sure it's some kind of scam:  he's talking about actual desktops and the fire-resistant formica counters used in laboratories.

It actually is a scam (http://consumerist.com/consumer/scams/blue-hippo-angers-floridas-attorney-general-295649.php). Sort of.
