They really failed at that pop-culture reference. The least they could have done was use the unicode heart. ♥ <- Something tells me it's going to fail because CompSci's a unicode hater. Edit: Nope. It just hates accents. ?

+2000 points for whoever calls Dell Support about this and asks them to fix it. +5000 points if you record it and post to youtube. Laughing

For some reason it bothers me when businesses try to identify with the younger generation like this. I mean, my school's cafeteria has 'i live green' signs (yes, a little i) and my eyes start bleeding every time I see it. Internet shorthand, memes and pop-culture references belong on TV, games and the internet. It's just unprofessional at any other time.

Reminds me of parents who try to use slang.

I'm sure that Dell will take to "heart" your completely irrelevant market segment feedback about their small business owners marketing campaign

its nice to know that I am not the only one who dies a little when I see stuff like this in a professional environment, especially when they try to hard.
