I liked this one. We can definitely see the overall theme behind this $300 million campaign is probably going to be Bill and Jerry doing normal everyday things with some comedy thrown in. And of course your supposed to associate that with Microsoft and think wonderful things like loving, caring, human, etc. This is not the approach everyone expected (not fighting back to all the abuse form Apple) which in itself is really helping this become very successful so far because everyone and their mother is talking about it. Just like the leaked letter on TechCrunch said, they are trying to, ?Engage Consumers, Spark Conversation?.Some more of my thoughts here:<a class="user" href="http://www.loveforbiz.com/thoughts-on-the-2nd-microsoft-ad">http://www.loveforbiz.com/thoughts-on-the-2nd-micr ...</a>
I really liked it, you just kinda have to like that dry humor. Like in the first one, where Jerry asks "Is this your toe?" And Bill replies "No, it's leather" and they just kinda stare at each other...it's just a different kind of humor. And regardless of whether you like, or understand it, it is working. After all...here we are talking about it.

The stolen giraffe is symbolic for the iPod. Watch it again, and it makes perfect sense.

Since when is it cool? Digg seems to be all Apple users, and everyone here hates Microsoft.
