No, I disagree. I think the writers of the Dell comercials smoke the green stuff. Or actually they think the audiance does. They are talking down to them as tho they have to speak in some lame drug enhanced language to reach the 16 to 22 age group. Really sad statement of what Dell thinks of the youth of America....
The Dell kid is an actor. He didn't write the commercials that taked down to people Dell computer requested that.

I found the commercials catchy. Guess their objective was to do that. Make Dell a common name and have it noticed and discussed.

They did accomplish that. And Dell is the number 1 company now, ahead of HP-Compaq.

I guess you're saying they didn't talk down to anyone... sad commentary.... but perhaps you're right.

They did talk down. I agree it was a condescending tone to it. But it got them noticed and gave Dell very high visibility which I guess is what it was all about.
