Did you hear that they won't be using him anymore?

SNL did a hysterical skit with Seth Meyers playing him during the last Weekend Update, with a shrink listing his various psych disorders before taking him away.  "Dude, I'm getting thorazine!"

I saw this news on the TVGuide.com site. They always have funny, sarcastic headlines over their daily news briefs. Today it was:

Dude! You're getting fired! :-)

Well, who knows where that info came from in the first place? Many of you might recall that back in August I warned you that I'd read in eWEEK that Dell planned to use him for quite some time to come. ;) (Shoddy reporting, TVGuide Online!!)

And for those of you who have been longing to see his ads again, by all means check out:

"Steven's" Site

to watch one of his latest ads over and over and over again - not to mention learn more about him than you've ever thought possible. [lghy]

saw on CNN that they are trying the new ads
and that "stephen' is on the backburner for a while
one can only hope he gets overdone on it because IMHO that is what Dell has done with him!i just find him insulting but then i dislike most ads and really don't buy things based on them sure i get "burned" sometimes but
"dude it happens"

mow MB just getting over a cold if i visit that site i'll really

So what this means then is that Roger Davis gets to resume his position as most annoying???

The last time I saw a Dell commercial, there was a different boy in it, better looking, a little more serious. Who was he? Not that I really care!

Or maybe he will be their next spokeperson.  Just imagine:

" You have to buy this computer now.  What do you mean you don't want to (shaking customer).  I mean now, right now.
