“Wow, looks like Lauren and Sue really gave the Mac vs. PC buying experience some real thought, doesn’t it? Well, apparently if one looks a little closer (as fanboys are want to do), it seems (please try to contain your shock) this whole shoot might have been a set up,” Macenstein reports.

“You see, at the 5 second mark we see the girls outside listing what it is they are hoping to find on their laptop hunt, followed by the girls entering the store, conducting a full shopping session with the duo looking at every laptop Best Buy has, then deciding the Mac is far too expensive, and ultimately choosing a Windows laptop. This is then followed by a shot [0:44] back out in the parking lot of the girls hugging with joy as they are handed their reward money for a job well done,” Macenstein reports. “And guess what? The clouds and cars in the background do not seem to have moved an inch in all that time.”

MacDailyNews Note: This reminds us of the “Lauren” ad, where the video proved that she never actually went into the “Mac store” as Microsoft claimed.

Dr. Macinstein asks, “Even if one assumes the girls found/were told to find that Dell before hand, and then feign excitement when given the money, doesn’t that fake excitement constitute ‘acting?’”

MacDailyNews Take: Microsoft and their minions: Quite likely the largest group of corrupt, lazy ass, corner-cutting fsckups currently assembled on the planet (not counting the U.S. Congress, of course).
