MacBook Pro Advertising Etching

How much did Apple pay to get the center of the MacBook Pro??? ;-)

Seriously, kudos to Leah for finding a way to get the MacBook Pro she wanted for free. Nothing wrong with that, even if it is exploiting advertising.

To those that think advertising is evil, I can see how too much can be annoying, but if it's done with a clever slant, I see nothing wrong with it.

So, I've been reading all the comments to the Leah Culver story, hearing all this business about how she wouldn't have gotten her Macbook if she didn't have breasts. Well, I got sick of it, and decided to prove the dissenters wrong (I hope)! I'm in a situation that is not too far from Leah's, and I decided to try my hand at getting an advertisement embedded Macbook Pro.

It seems like she more than broke even. She got all the upgrades and still had to have the money to have it engraved. I'm a musician and I'm considering this to get a new instrument.... I'm not above the corporate machine.

Hmmm, $150/square inch?

The 15" macbook pro is 14.9 inches by 9.6 inches. 14.9*9.6*150 = 20,304. That's a lot of macbook. Of course, you can't use EVERY square inch, you'll lose some from the apple logo, and the rounded edges, and you probably won't be able to pack every logo in without wasting space. But even if you assume only half the space was used, that's still TEN GRAND. And I think she managed to sell more than half.

Maybe she just stopped collecting when she reached the breakeven point?

screw the laptop. how much to put my logo on the girl? hiiiiooooohhh!

so how much did Apple pay for that huge shining advertisement in the middle?

@11 not unless you fill the apple log with epoxy, like I did, and get rid of it.

just another sad attempt at trying to get somthing for cheap.

Advertising is evil.

Infact, i'm not too hot about the shit on this site. good thing I can block them out.


"powered by..." "sponsored by" "brought to you by" and all that other stuff they use to sneak in a company's name into everything today, not to mention commercials, print ads, popups, text ads,banner ads, IntelliTXT, and wort of all, corporate named stadiums and other non corporate public buildings.

Notice that she had prises for best ad and biggest donor. The prises? An Applr yo-yo mouse and a zip drive. Ya-effing-hoo!

Or, how to make the sexiest laptop into the ugliest laptop.

For all you guys that are crying and moaning about the corporate machine and advertising what do you think the big Apple logo is on the lid of your laptops, "oh but that lights up so that is cool". Get a life hippies!
