I like that last quote quite a lot. Quite an epigram.

I think that it's POSSIBLE that what you say is true. However, I don't believe that it's very LIKELY. The fact that Microsoft only put out two Seinfeld ads is a sign that things may not be working out well for them, after all. However, I won't roundly mark it a failure yet.

Nah, I believe it was the plan. Those ads take months to produce and land on television. From what I've read, politicians excepted, the lead time on TV ads is generally 3-6 months or so.

Whatever the third ad is, it had to have entered the planning stage before the Seinfeld ads even aired.
