With three genuine instalments on the Web, it's time for the parodies of Microsoft's 'laptop hunter' ads to start rolling in.
The first one we've seen is from LandlineTV. It features Frank, a homeless guy with $1,000 to spend on a laptop.
We've embedded the video below, but as a family site we should warn you there's some rude language, partial nudity and a healthy disrespect for the convention of not making fun of tramps.
Microsoft, for its part, declined to comment on the parody. As for Landline, it's a three-person outfit that's been doing Web video since September. Among its earlier videos was 'Hockey Moms Against Sarah Palin'.
"We're sort of a Saturday Night Live meets the Twitter age," CEO Jared Neumark said in an email interview. Neumark said the company aims to crank out about two videos per week.
