Deceptive Ad on TV

Has anyone seen the Dell advertisement on TV where the guy is lying on the
bed talking to Dell tech support on the phone? This is deceptive because the
Dell tech in the commercial speaks English, and we all know this IS NOT the
case when one calls Dell support.

Say it isn't so. Deceptive advertising? My faith in humanity is lost.

I sure hope other advertisers don't start doing it too. It could seriously
damage the reputation of an otherwise respectable and conscientious segment
of society... ;-)

Duly noted that the tech was caucasian and appeared to be located in the
states for what appears to be a "home/residential" user.

Has anyone on the home side had a call answered by a tech stateside lately?
I haven't had to call them in quite some time, so I don't know....

You, of course, have filed your formal complaint with the Federal
Trade Commission over this gross violation of the "Truth in
Advertising Act".

Not true? Hmmmm.

I called Tech Support, just a few days ago, and spoke to
a very knowledgeable gentleman in Texas.
