Earlier today we learned that Microsoft is planning a $300 million advertising campaign starring Jerry Seinfeld in an attempt to counter the success that Apple has had with their Computer vs Mac ads. However, according to FBLA, Microsoft might not stop with Seinfeld. Rumor has it that stars like Sarah Silverman, Willie Nelson, Travis Pastrana, Matthew McConaughey, Ralph Nader, Rob Corddry, Stephen Colbert and even the late Bernie Mac were/are being considered for the ad. Again, it’s just a rumor, but this approach worked for the Bill Gates retirement video didn’t it? [Yeah, no Bernie Mac for obvious reasons. - BL] [FBLA via Gawker]
