Not sure about the HP TouchPad? Well, HP thinks the man to persuade you is Russell Brand. It’s wrangled the big-haired comic into filming a series of clips to promote the tablet and they’re fairly bizarre.
Perched precariously on a spectacularly ugly sofa, Brand dubs the HP TouchPad his “little robot butler” and compares the flicks and swipes of multitasking to dealing with boogers. Frankly, it’s quite difficult to get your head around the comedian seriously saying terms like “HTML5″ in his usual whimsically faux-Victorian manner.
Click through to watch the clips for yourself. Has HP got it right with Russell or are we right in thinking these ads are just too odd?
