Yeah well, let's just say there are few people from couple of companies who believe that they should use celebrities to launch motherboard and graphic cards.

I explained them in sweet language but it seems they are just not aware how public is. Just in the spirit of things and for the good of our sanity, I am taking this small survey. Just in case if any company asks if this tactic would work? I could simply show the survey results.

Yeah- I am serious. Some management do think celeb power for pc H/W will work. Here's the link for the survey:

So here are the numbers for now. 75 people taken the survey. 39 are from TE, 18 from IVG forums, 11 from TDF and E forums whereas rest from other forums. A massive size of 58 people agree "No- People usually stay away from such products with celebs on it".

Celebs help in attracting new crowd. enthusiasts and gamers know what they want and what they are dealing with.

yes i would like to see them...so we can make fun of them afterwards...

but seriously, they will help attract the layman(who gets duped all the time anyway), people who know their stuff will not care if the ad has kareena or katrina...
