Dell going to sell Dudewear

Dell Computer Corp., best known for the low-priced hardware that it sells through its Web site, is moving into Dudewear.

Capitalizing on the popularity of its young, bushy-browed spokesman the Dell Dude, the Round Rock, Texas-based company has begun selling "Dude" branded T-shirts, caps and backpacks.

Steven, the ubiquitous 20-something Dell spokesman, gets his call name from his most memorable words on Dell's TV commercials -- "Dude, you're gettin' a Dell."

Sadly, that "dell dude", more like "dull idiot", is from my area. I give him props for making money and getting publicity, but there is a point when self respect should have some part in your career choice.

Popularity? They have got to kidding, as everyone I know (tech or not) believe that Dell has the lamest commercials on Earth. Then again, any market exposure is good according to business theory (that's how many PR reps think anyway!), as most viewers will likely remember the annoying Dell commercials instead of the just ridiculous Gateway talking cow ads.

I don't mind the commercials, but the apparel may be going a little far.

Meh.
