Very funny Intel Ad

This Intel Ad was forwarded to me by one of my colleagues. Very funny and thoughtful. The "Ajay Bhatt" that they show is not the real inventor. See Intel's real Ajay Bhatt who was the co-inventor of USB here. According to NYTimes, Intel decided to pose actors vs. real inventors in their commercial so that there won't be any argument among employees as to who should be featured.

The NYTimes article further says that, the Ad agency - Venables Bell & Partners - helped modify Intel's "we are in your everyday life and the world would stop revolving without Intel" motto to "Sponsors of Tomorrow". I think "Sponsors of tomorrow" is more pleasing than what Intel proposed. Hence the agency came up with ads like how Intel is technology oriented and promoting that. There is even going to be a billboard asking people to text msg answers for "What do you hope to see in the future?".

The article is a good read as well.
