VAIO Chick Joins PC, Mac Dudes

The Silly Girl points us to some fun Sony is having in a newish VAIO laptop campiagn. Calling the line “the non-pc pc,” Sony has made a threesome of the PC Guy/Mac Guy Apple ads and added an “I’m a VAIO” hipster chick to the equation. As engadget correctly ponders, the message is a bit confusing since, after all, the VAIO is, in fact, a PC whether it wants to be or not. Details aside, a little flash ad lets you choose who you want to “play with.” Choose the girl, she giggles. Choose the Mac, he says “hey.” Choose the PC and, well, he farts. Go figure.
