This is great, Gateway, one of the widoze drones has really done this time. After embarassing themselves with the profile ad, they've gone and put a PowerBook TI in one of their ads. You have to take a look:

P.S. it's a stock photo, but its still a Mac in a peecee ad and if you watch ads like I do, Macs are everywhere.

Saw this at AAF last week, it's pretty hilarious. And, why the hell is Gateway selling Plasma TV's anyway...?

Anything for a quick buck
