Damn them! Is 'Dell Dude' Steven Done For? October 14, 2002 06:32 PM ET NEW YORK (Reuters) - Dude, are you getting a pink slip? Dell Computer Corp.'s sales of personal computers have soared since the advent of the fictional pitchman "Steven," known for his catchphrase, "Dude, you're getting a Dell!" But perhaps fearful of a backlash against the ubiquitous Steven, who playfully harangues friends and strangers into buying a Dell PC, the company said on Monday it is moving on to a new, less dude-centric advertising campaign. "We're trying to look at some alternatives," said Dell spokesman Bob Kaufman, who said the company is currently airing ads that feature a group of eager interns. "We test ran some of the interns spots during the summer and got some positive reactions." Kaufman declined to say if the "Steven" campaign was merely on hiatus, or gone for good. In two years, Steven, played by 21-year-old New York University acting student Ben Curtis, has become a cult advertising figure not seen since the likes of Joe Izuzu and Clara Peller of Wendy's "Where's the beef?" fame. Inundated by calls from adoring fans, Dell set up a Web site (http://www.dell4me.com/dude) and even offered a line of "Dell Dude" apparel. The campaign was originally created in 2000 by Dell's then-ad agency Lowe, a unit of Interpublic Group of Cos. Inc. . When Dell switched to Omnicom Group's DDB agency in April, 2001, Steven went along for the ride. If Steven is on the way out, nobody seems to have told "DellDudeSteven," an automated chat program set up by Dell to run on America Online's Instant Messenger. When asked on Monday, "Dude, I heard you're getting fired!" the program responded, "I haven't." ------- I tried to get some comments from Steven on AIM also. TheBigHackDaddy: So, are you getting fired? DellDudeSteven: am i? getting fired? what do u think? TheBigHackDaddy: I think you are DellDudeSteven: huh? TheBigHackDaddy: I heard it on the news DellDudeSteven: u always say funny things, TheBigHackDaddy. :-) well. anyway... hey, wanna figure out which Dell system is best for u? TheBigHackDaddy: No DellDudeSteven: ok, fine. TheBigHackDaddy: Who'd win in a fight, Bill or Ted? DellDudeSteven: dunno... ----- he's stonewalling

HBK already had 30 Bible t-shirts for TV. Like "One Nation Under God"..

Wha...? both Bradshaw (John Hawk) and Booker must have worked together in Dallas (GWF?)

let me paste out the Jack Oliver e-mail that I get. "October 18, 2002 Senate Democrats Choose the Special Interests Over Your Interests Just yesterday, the Democrat Senate left town without creating a Department of Homeland Security. Rather than working for an effective Homeland Security Department to better defend our nation, the Democrat Senate sided with government employee unions who want to prevent the President from having the authority necessary to quickly move employees and resources in times of emergency. We shouldn't be surprised. Their decision is part of a pattern of repeatedly putting special interests over the best interests of the American people. They ignored rising energy prices for our families, siding instead with extreme environmentalists to block energy production legislation. Rather than protect retirement security for workers, they ignored pension reforms. Rather than passing a responsible budget to protect jobs and improve the economy, they refused to pass a budget for the first time since 1974. Rather than confirm President Bush's highly qualified judicial nominees, they blocked judge after judge and refused to offer many fair hearings. This record of choosing special interests over the American people's interests needs to change. You can change it by electing men and women who will work for what's best for your family, not what's best for the Washington special interests. Lacking Leadership or an Agenda, Democrats are Losing the Economic Debate This week Democrats unveiled their response to our nation's economic challenges: false attacks and empty rhetoric. With signs of a slowing economy beginning in the summer of 2000, the Democrats are just now paying attention. In contrast, President Bush and Republicans in Congress have cut taxes to grow our economy and have worked to create jobs. As a result of this strong leadership most Americans trust President Bush and Republicans more to handle economic issues. Heading into November, Republicans welcome a discussion on how to strengthen our economy and as a recent memo by RNC Senior Adviser Matthew Dowd points out, Republicans are in a great position to win the debate on the economy in this election. "

from what I've noticed and heard, Kane just was not angry during the tag match, instead he WALKED to the ring to face HHH after HHH's video. God friggin' damn Kane... show some anger. RVD wasn't that mad either, but at least he's consistantly like that. Kane should have been angry and wanting to tear HHH apart in the ring. but, Kane blew it

Out of that horrible angle, Show's anger was the only thing I liked in it. I was so hoping for Triple B to be tossed around like a rag doll in that match. Aw come on, Bossman's poem was great "With the deepest regrets, and tears that are soaked I'm sorry to hear that your dad finally croaked He lived a full life on his own terms Soon he'll be buried and eaten by worms But if I could have a son as stupid as you I'd have wished for cancer so I would die too So be brave, and be strong, get your life on track 'Cause the old bastard's DEAD and he ain't never comin' back!" fuckin' beautiful!

wait.. so I can't mention "The Abortionist" since the WWE might use it?

my guy, Leon Sharpe, in his fed, is a bit mad, since the fed is in the crapper and like 10 guys are showing up. Plus, he is mad over other things. Enjoy this exclusive Sharpe material. ====== [We fade to the back where we see Leon Sharpe walking into the arena. Sharpe is nodding with a phone to his ear.] Leon Sharpe - Yes Ted, I know it's gone in the crapper. Ever since they started screwing corpses, that show's just plummetted for me... what would be next? Hell, if they dress him up in drag and force him to have sex with a dozen men.. i'm gonna sue for royalties. Let me tell you this Teddy.. at least I bounced back... yes.. I know I'm on TV. Teddy, don't kid around with me there.. my fly is not unzipped. Look Ted.. you're my brother, I suspect your mother drank during your pregnancy. Just kidding man.. it's not like I'm God Boy rising from my chair. Look.. talk to you later. [sharpe hangs up his phone.] Leon Sharpe - Look, I am just trying to enter the building here. I know the EWA has 10 guys working for us now. I don't think that means I should be filmed talking to my brother Ted. [sharpe walks off.] Leon Sharpe - Oh yeah, I'm gonna be winning the title also. [We fade to black] --------------------- The Informer - I am informed that moments ago, somebody had a chat with Leon Sharpe. Eddie Sensation - Are we stalking him now? Vic Canon - Yes. [Fade to the back. Sharpe is standing by a coffee machine while two EMTs look on.] Leon Sharpe - So, anyways, I bring out these women.. and then he starts giving in, since he's gay.. then.. they got all over him.. but.. that was not enough to slay the mighty Divine.. then.. they stripped.. and Divine gave in like a French soldier, and I won the International title. Don't worry boys. I'm gonna do it again Tonight. [suddenly somebody walks up.] "Hello Leon" Leon Sharpe - Hey Louis Syffler! [syffler, in a blazer and pants with a neck brace, shakes his head in frustration.] Louis Syffler - God damnit Leon.. this was supposed to be suspenseful. Leon Sharpe - It's not like the fans left watching are morons or anything. Louis Syffler - Look Leon.. I have a business offer for you. Leon Sharpe - You're not gonna allow for me to be fucked in the ass by gay males again, are you? Louis Syffler - Look.. I didn't know that was gonna happen. I only let you stay with Divine to advance Shawn Rocker's career. Leon Sharpe - and that sure turned out well! Louis Syffler - It's not my problem that Shawn Rocker was the EWA's Bob Crane. Leon Sharpe - on that note, who is the EWA's Colonel Klink? Louis Syffler - God damnit.. i'll ignore that. Leon.. I have a business deal for you. Leon Sharpe - Louis, what ever happened to the Truth? Louis Syffler - Damnit! You wanna know? Leon Sharpe - Sure.. the lack of Anti-American bullshit is the reason for the fall of the EWA. This is prime time to say America deserves this, isn't it? Truth can pose with Saddam and shit. Louis Syffler - Leon.. I had Tomas sent back to Mexico for awhile. Hell, I hold his contract in the EWA. I felt that he should let stuff cool down. Plus, that match with Armstrong hurt him. Leon Sharpe - Tell Truth that Leon wished him the best. Louis Syffler - Okay man.. I just have one deal for you. Sign it. Leon Sharpe - I'll have to read it. Louis Syffler - Look, the deal is simple. I want to represent you. I want to align myself with you. I'll give you the papers and you can sign them any time you want to. Leon Sharpe - I'll keep these papers until I need them. Louis Syffler - Good. Leon Sharpe - How about those Lions? Louis Syffler - They're not doing that well. Leon Sharpe - Hockey season is coming up.. and I will be the next International champ, ya know.. Louis Syffler - You'd be the champ faster if I hit Vinny with my briefcase. Leon Sharpe - I heard you kept bricks in that briefcase. Louis Syffler - Damnit, they are IMPORTANT LEGAL DOCUMENTS! NOT BRICKS! THAT'S WHAT I TOLD AIRPORT SECURITY! Leon Sharpe - Louis.. I hope your neck heals, and I am sure that if I can trust any scumbag, it's one that I injured. Cya. [sharpe walks off with the documents in his hands.] ----------- [We fade to the back where Leon Sharpe is with Rachel Stevens.] Rachel Stevens - One question... what do those documents say? Leon Sharpe - Gimme time.. this one page says that he can re-negociate my contract. I don't want to do that, I enjoy my money and my chicken wings. Hell, I write my contracts on napkins to save time. I'm busy. Maybe I do need a lawyer to write my stuff. [sharpe thinks] Leon Sharpe - Now.. my match.. you see.. Vinny, this is a submission match. I have some submission holds, and I have the lethal SHARPESHOOTER. I will hit you with a heavy object and then I will put you in the hold. That simple. Isn't it? Rachel Stevens - I guess. Leon Sharpe - damn right. I'm gonna end your reign Vinny, and I will become champ again. Don't you forget it Vinster. I will prevail tonight. [sharpe nods.] Leon Sharpe - and I will give you a dose of Vitamin Sharpe, I'll pound it into your face. Vitamin Sharpe is ephedrin free but it still kills you. Don't deny it. Oh yeah! [sharpe smirks and walks off.] ======================== I'm sure some of this will not make sense. Except for Sharpe telling the story of how he won the EWA International title to the EMTs. It's just a fun little jab at the WWE.

I don't see how me saying you were whining about the Guerreros was 'ripping you off' so consider this continued for now.

I was known by people back when you were lurking and not posting for months at a time.

How was I trying to rip you off?

once I get the few thousand posts in the next week or two, then I'll be more established than ever. Muahahahahaha *evil laugh continues for 30 minutes*

j/k = just kidding. of the people on this board, you might need to get Bradshaw'd up the ass, since something has to be stuck up there

Kotz: either the Establishment, or the lame Establishment Wolfpac. anyways, CWM and me vote against each other on TSM-Survivor often

Yeah, eating out chicks on their period seems to be worse now that I think of it

don't mind Fletch, he's just mad because he found out that I don't put out for just anybody j/k

so, you're a voyeur, aren't ya? j/k

then again, the "Kane rapes corpses" angle has been getting higher ratings than usual for RAW, so the board of 'overness' may wanna check to see if 'ratings going up' = good j/k

do you two want a hotel room so you can spend more time together?

with that knowledge of cliche board jokes, you'll fit in quickly.

"If you call me a tampon, please give a good example why." You have alot in common with something that is put on a vagina during periods. Both of you aren't really popular, except for those rare people who love screwing women wearing tampons, or love your posts. Both of you try to get too much attention and I don't want to see advertisements for either of you while eating. "You just did it because he has a movie coming out - I was simply calling you out on your supreme lack of taste, thats all." You calling me obsessed with Bob Crane was a defense of taste. Banky Edwards defending good taste is like Gene Simmons defending celibacy. It just doesn't work. You know why I used the pic? because I wanted filler in my sig until I got a newer banner made. "Considering you probably didn't know Crane from a hole in the wall until this flick came out." and you did? I knew who Crane was, I knew he was murdered, I heard he was a sex-a-holic, and I read that his son opened a porn site of his dad's pictures and videos (classy). I bet saying I didn't know jack about Crane wasn't meant to be consistant with saying I was obsessed with him. "Don't respond back, because I'll flame you again...and again...and again." Very well then. I don't intend to give in now. "Honestly, even I am getting bored with it. " Good. It is getting boring. You'll give in before I do.

The New Me, you are new, not old, welcome to the forum. This might be the new TSM hazing, the "You were somebody else" treatment. Or not. Whatever.

yeah, since i'm such a "waste of time" How about you stop replying to me if you think I am such a waste of time? oh wait.. that'd mean that you wouldn't be able to post as much. Since flaming me is something you 'waste time' with. Fletch, when it comes to you as a person, you're a tampon, you think you're the big guy, but nobody really likes you that much. Let me just state that I will end this if you do, if you don't, then I will continue, it will totally be your fault when this starts really getting out of hand. As for Bob Crane. It's filler until I get a new banner made. Shut the fuck up. How the hell do you think I am 'obsessed'. I don't follow Bob Crane to the WWE folder and flame his posts. You are trying to shift the focus off your god damn need to flame me to Bob fuckin' Crane. Of course he isn't the wave of the future, he's been dead for 25 years. You ignorant ass. You didn't need to mention that, but I guess sounding stupid never stopped you from saying anything before, did it?
