What’s Up Over at HP?

I don’t want to sound like an elitist, but I will. HP’s latest campaign, “The Computer is Personal Again” is the latest misbegotten attempt by a PC maker to get some much needed street cred back. Don’t get me wrong, I think they make one hell of a computer once you strip off all the crap the partners throw on there, but the ads themselves look like something out of “The Nightmare Before Christmas” or a kid’s Halloween sticker book; and not in a good way. Take a look:

HP AD 1

Actually, the first one looks like an appeal by the space hippies from the Star Trek episode “The Way to Eden.”

How about this one:

HP AD 2

Kind of like a shadow puppet of Jimmy Durante.

You decide.
