"Is the HP marketing department high? I do not want to go 
point-by-point, but Russell Brand, for starters, normally portrays a 
sleazebag and generally plays that character all the time—even during 
personal appearances. How does this foster a love for an HP tablet or 
Veer phone? "Hey, I'm a sleazebag. I buy HP!"  "

John Dvorak is careful to only say 'plays a sleazebag', but I'll leave 
you to draw your own conclusions.

Anyway, there's Brand, apparently endorsing the HP TouchPad, because 
he's on the iCarly show (I guess nobody has made an iLeo show yet).

I wonder if he'll use its marketing slogan - "Works But Nothing Else"?

Oh no, hang on, ermm.... can that be quite right? :-)
