Is that a rhetorical question?

Neon sign with the outline of a woman and the words 'Bada Bing!'

I just saw one of Intel's new television ads. I wasn't really paying attention until I heard this:

"Want incredible entertainment experiences in your lap?"

YES! YES! DEAR GOD, YES!

Needless to say I was horribly disappointed to find out it was an ad for a laptop computer.

Stupid thinly veiled sexual references.

thinly veiled or not, it does work, doesn't it!

Mmn, thinly veiled sex... So teasing, with the almost-touching.

W & W: Easy like Sunday morning. It worked in that I remember it, but I'm no closer to buying a Centrino Mobile laptop.

Etch: I sense a little Frink in that last comment.

Maybe this laptop does has amazing capabilities to provide incredible entertainment experiences in your lap. Perhaps they're testing this hyper-threading tecnology and seeing how well they can get 'external' entertainment to run when a command is written on the laptop. I can see it now, actually; millions of users all opening DOS Prompt:

cd\hot babe\strip.exe

There is no help file, either. Just like real life then, I suppose...

Ha! I definitely should buy one, then. Who needs a help file, I'll just look for a FAQ online or a Walkthrough.

Mmm... hyper threading.

I've already made preparations myself. When the executable opens with one of those "This software is donation-ware" pop-up notifications, I plan to press tab. It better work, too or else I will be sorely disappointed in Intel for not adopting the "put it on my tab" technology.

I can't wait for "the ultimate strategy guide" handbook to come out. 476 glossy pages of blissful hyper-threading cheats, guides, tips and tricks. Shall I reserve a copy for you too, Kato?

Intel is too late for that marketing. Whoever invented the "vibrate" setting on cell phones already thought of entertainment experiences in your lap.

True, although I don't get a lot of entertainment out of it. When my phone is in my pocket and it goes off I am usually concerned about what that tingling sensation is. Like, did I wet myself or something?

Incredible entertainment experiences in my lap?

Only if they're meatnormous.

I'm not sure how to feel about that.
