Uh, well, I have a green dell laptop...but no, I have no idea.

Dell has a series of laptops you can purchase in different colors. Here they are saying the vegan chose the pink laptop instead of the green one.

I think it's like, if vegans could choose a color (instead of green, like "go green), they could choose...dirt brown...or like, sunny yellow. So, you can choose the color of your laptop.
Which makes little to no sense.

That's how I'd have explained it, too. Eppy just got to it before I did.

This is what I thought, I just thought there was something else I was missing. I guess it's just a crappy ad...

Same. It just seemed like there should be more.

I don't think the ad is good as an ad because it leaves you going huh? I don't get it.
Then again maybe it is good as an ad because you actually think about it due to how hard to understand it is.
Either way it's good for vegans. It's not insulting but it does bring us further into the mainstream.

but look at the discussion it brought, and the use of 'Dell' in it?

The whole series of ads plays with our expectations and the symbolic nature of color in our society. I find it rather clever.

The "Dell" part is the part I'd like to forget....

Yeah, definetly. I'm glad that 'vegan' is becoming a more common word in peoples' vocabularies.
it was pretty funny to be selling ice cream over the weekend and hear the awesome (mis)pronunciations of the word.
what is _________ (veggin, vaygun, ad nauseum) ice cream? was a common question.
but in the publics defense... they bought it and liked it. and came back for seconds.

Darn Eppy got to explain it first.
I saw it a while ago and actually thought it was cute.
