"DAD! My computer is so OLD! Let's just go to the store and get a NEW one!"

This "PC Matic" commercial is SO...EFFIN'...STOOOOPID!

Stereotypical airheaded blonde teen who wants to throw out her computer because it is SOOOOO old and SOOOOO slow.

Her wise dad knows better.

Between the two of them, they say "PC MATIC" about fifty times in the two-minute commercial (WHAT was the name of that service again?)

At the end, all's well that ends well as Buffy or Muffy or Britney or whatever her name is decides they don;t need to go to the computer store after all.

USA! USA! USA! USA!

Don't learn how to use/maintain your computer--that's elitist, right? Just keep buying and dumping and consuming.

Pretty sickening commercial, but not because there is a lack of "truth" in it.
