Yes, I especially like the way you buy a laptop and just below the 
keyboard there's a huge sticker saying something like

"Experience the future with the new Acer Aspire 1352642. Fitted with the 
latest cutting-edge technology, this is truely a laptop of the future. 
Fast, powerful and energy efficient, it embodies the Acer vision of the 
digital lifestyle. [etc]"

Seriously, WTF??

I ALREADY BOUGHT THE LAPTOP! How is sticking an advert to it going to 
make me buy it even more?

Now, if the laptop is sitting in a shop window, that's another matter. 
But it isn't. It's sitting in my house, where nobody except me will ever 
see it. Go figure...
