Apparently the last one is Jerry’s final appearance people at Microsoft say that he was there in the first few warm up commercials only as part of their $300 million Vista ad campaign more featured ads are set to follow and a dedicated site has gone live to promote the campaign.

The above Ad starring Eva Mendes in a commercial for Calvin Klein’s Obession was deemed too hot for U.S. television a few months ago, but after a re think and the fact that it was viralled online it has now been decided that it will be shown after 9pm this autumn

Interesting to see the viral power of the web which can bring things back into the limelight.
