International marketing 101: Dell's Inspiron US vs Korean launches

Two identical product launches on two continents. Two pictures photographed the same day. Two radically different approaches to marketing.

Dem! Malaysia should really buck up! East asian country do tend to have dancing gals got openning/launching events. If you are one of the VIPs you will often get ascorted by them in those events.

I've never wanted to hear "Dude, you're gettin' a Dell!" again until now.

I think this promotion backfired terribly. My urge to buy a Dell was instantly overshadowed by my urge to masturbate. By the time I was done, I forgot what I was doing. Soon as I go back to the computer, the cycle repeats itself.

this reminds me of a south park episode where one character says that americans are so bored, that they will protest anything.

Sooo... USA cant shut up about their fancy graphics and new HaloCraft3000 (and DOA) wheras Korea has no problem about how the sentry (Or video game girl) "doesnt look real enough".

Suddenly it all makes sense.
