Last week was very busy, so I was unable to get an article done. So I decided to do two this week.
I know this ad isn’t for something computer related, but I just thought it was funny. This ad would have appeared about a month before Windows was released. Bill would have been 30. I wonder how much it costs to get a young Bill to shill your product? I also love how they had to use his whole name and title to make up for his 12-year-old face.
What is your favorite ad with a computer giant shilling for a non-computer product?
What computer ads would you like to see in the future? Please comment below. If you enjoyed, please share with your friends and relatives. Thank you.
Bill Gates Advertises for the Wall Street Journal
I would bet that there was an "in kind" deal for this advertisement. you pointed out it was a month before Windows... so a month later, everybody in business is hit with Windows.
