Laptop Hunters

Stop lying.

The Web has a zillion sleuths just waiting to be activated, like that worm on your computer delineated on "60 Minutes" last night

Latest example?

Microsoft’s new "Laptop Hunters" TV campaign, in which an uber-attractive girl professes she’s not cool enough to buy an Apple laptop and goes for a cheaper Windows machine.

Within moments, it was revealed that "Lauren" was not an average person, but a member of SAG (Screen Actor’s Guild) recruited from Craigslist

Then, it was revealed that the computer she purchased was an old model

with bad reviews:
