Sun: “Look at us, we’re edgy”

September 13th, 2005

Is it just me, or are the “edgy” new advertisements Sun is running in newspapers (and, ostensibly, trying to run but can’t) a little … you know, desperate?

They’d be reasonable for, you know, a younger and more credibly hip firm, but coming from Sun they’re like the dad who buys beer for his kid, or the university eatery named after a goofy student tradition.

Update: Erin pointed out that I had written “universery eatery” up there. What the hell is a “universery”?
