BulldogTom Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Every time I see that CDW commercial with the guy who has his office on the beach, I think of Mel in Hawaii. I have no idea what Mel looks like, but I just picture him something like that. Tom Lodi, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel in Hawaii Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Well, I haven't ever seen the commercial so I can't compare myself. But, I am not on the beach as that's for people with $$$. I do have a beautiful view at the moment, looking out over Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head and all the way down Ewa since I am up about 875 feet elevation in the center of the island of Oahu. Now, I do go to the beach a bit with the kids, but usually one to two days a week only when the weather is nice (aka summer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAXBILLY Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 You mean there are bad weather days in Hawaii? taxbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulldogTom Posted September 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Mel - the commercial has a guy with a beard, shorts and a floral shirt who works out of an open air bamboo hut with a grass roof on a deserted beach. He sees some footprints on the beach that are not his, and calls CDW to get an upgrade on his security package for his computer equipment. It is kinda funny.

Mel in Hawaii Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Haha.. Well, that guy has a lot more hair than I have... Add a few pounds, shave the top portion of his head bald, leave the hair around the fringe and the 4-5 day beard and he might pass for me. I have a shirt that closely resembles that one but the print isn't quite so large. Just about every shirt I wear is an aloha shirt, but most are not so loud. It's great that the companies now are putting out commercials we actually enjoy going back to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 <snip> It's great that the companies now are putting out commercials we actually enjoy going back to watch. We can thank the invention of the "mute" button for this, I do believe. Once we were no longer captive, the commercial had to be worth bothering with.
