Hi, I’m Lauren DeLong, I’m a PC and drunk off my arse…
These images have nothing to do with Microsoft or the company’s ad agency. They don’t say anything about the quality, or lack thereof, of the notebook computer Redmond bought for the actress, who (it must be said) has a certain appeal in a bikini or when she’s licking a vodka bottle.
Previously, Blorge took a look at Microsoft’s newest “I’m a PC” ad and its star, Lauren DeLong. From her nonexistent “Mac store” visit to the highly dubious quality of the notebook Redmond bought for her, there were more than a couple things in the spot that could have been done, if not better, at least more professionally.
With that information as a backdrop comes the news that the lovely Ms DeLong not only has a MySpace page (via Macenstein), but has seen fit to post a pics of herself in a condition that might be accurately described as “unfit to drive or operate heavy machinery,” including one shot with what appears to be an open bottle of liqour in the back seat of a car—one assumes, like the rest of the planet, California (or wherever) has a law against such things.
A natural progression of events in anyone’s life…
While you’re enjoying the music that plays automatically on Lauren’s MySpace page—Portions for Foxes by Rilo Kiley—you might wanna sing right along with the lyrics. Better still, sing the lyrics while watching Lauren’s “I’m a PC” ad spot with the sound muted, it provides an interesting juxtaposition of the two conflicting fantasies, products for sale.
It’s called research
Either Microsoft’s ad agency just completely dropped the ball or Lauren’s being sold just as she’s being presented—a hotty who likes to have fun and, by the by, has her spending priorities just right.
What a beautiful train wreck…

Girl used in ad campaign has a night out and a drink shocker. Onlookers said that she appeared to have had “a good time”.
I mean, really.
Ronald, I have some advice. Switch off your Mac. Go on, you know you can. Stand up, grab your coat, and go for a stroll. Go to bar or a cafe. Live a little. Have some fun with some good friends. (Or make some if you don’t have any. Try to keep the IT talk to a minimum, it can intimidate people.)
Then come back and read this article again, and think about what you have written. Wrong, isn’t it?

Surely you can’t be serious!
Get a sense of humor. Try standing in front of the mirror and laugh at the fool, person, genius, loser, leader, etc you see staring back at you.
Then read the article and think about the places where you might want to crack a smile, maybe laugh a little.
I’m going swimming with my kids now and we’re gonna laugh and have a raucous good time.
Cheers!

Ronald,
that was low. Lauren should not be blamed that she’s participating in MS commercial. Nobody should. It’s just a commercial.
For what it’s worth, I do think Lauren did quite well on the commercial (much better than the commercial itself) and she should have every right to enjoy her life.
And now go and apologize.

Pull down this web posting right now. Its a computer commercial. You are crossing the line with this. Take it down now!

Posting a person’s personal photos in a mocking sort of way is something that should be reserved for billionaires and celebrities, not somebody who happened to appear in a commercial.

“I’m a graduate of Jamestown Community College (AS, Mathematics) and the University of Pittsburgh (BA, Chinese). Been married long enough to know better and we have two lovely, wonderful children that I’m still making payments on.”
SO THE ABOVE MUST MEAN THAT YOU ARE A POT SMOKING BURNOUT FROM PA THAT CANT GET IT UP. VIRGIN NOW DOUBT AT 44.
YOU ARE ATTACKING A PERSON NOT A COMPUTER NOW. YOUR CASUAL ATTEMPT OF A JOKE WAS NOT AROUND THE WATER COOLER, JUST GO AWAY. GO PICK ON YOUR DVD PLAYER. TAKE DOWN THIS CRAP WEBSITE. READ A BOOK OR SOMETHING. MAYBE HOW TO HAVE SEX FOR DUMMIES…

Yeah, I think this is in bad taste. She is an actor doing work, and because she is the focus of this post I see no reason for it to be on a ‘tech’ blog. If this the direction this blog is going to take I will stop reading it.

Hear, hear, basquat and others.
(Trying to) dig up dirt on others just because they’re in an ad for a product that competes against something you’re a fanboi of. That’s just lame in so many ways.

Funny how Dell Dude’s pot smoking ways were reason for dismissal and everyone laughs at how he’s fallen.

But Laurens proud display flagrant violation of the law, the stuff that every company wants in its representatives, is sacrosanct. Ooh, poor ickle grrl needs all you tuff, tuff fanbois to come to save her.
Did you think MS was in the business of selling malt liquor or morning after pills?
In case you haven’t noticed the trollops myspace page is still up stell promoting her good time mamma image. Maybe for a part in Van Wilder II or Saw 15 or girls gone wild. And, that’s cool.
Is it cool for micrsoft? do you tink they might’ve thought better of it if they had know ahead of time? You idiots make me laugh.

Yeah Ronald, you really need to stop taking the chief executive sauseges in both holes. The ad may not be great, but in this economy, who wants to pay $500 for an Apple logo on their computer? Who wants a $2800 17″ laptop that can’t even integrate with other non-Macintosh programs without gliching or freezing? And don’t get me started on the ever problematic iPod’s and iPhones. I mean, even now I would rather carry around a boombox on my shoulder than go back to my touch-screen iPod. With sales sinking faster than the USS Arizona, Apple/Mac needs to change or risk closing it’s doors for good.

Ronald O Carlson, you are a fucking cunt. Shes just having a good time, something you wouldnt know about as you’re too busy sucking Steve Jobs small cock.
Fucking loser.

Keep it up, Ron. You’re definitely showing everyone what Apple users are all about! (lol)
