View Full Version : Dell Computers' 'Steven'...an obscene gesture?

Has anyone noticed the latest Dell Computer TV commercial where Steven graduates from school?

There is a scene where Steven is talking at a podium and they're showing still photos on a big screen.

At one point a picture pops up where Steven looks like he's flipping someone the bird! :eek:

What makes this scene even funnier, is that IMMEDIATELY after the pic of Steven with his middle finger resting on his chin...the scene pans to an older man (possibly a principal or teacher) that gives Steven a stern dirty look! :lol:

Has anyone else noticed our Dell pitchman...and his obvious obscene finger gesture? It's NOT hard to see...and hysterical! Typical of the hi-jinx I remember in school.

"Dude, yer getting a Dell...and by the way **** ***!" :lol: :lol:

pontoon :cool:

<< I always thought that he is pretty hot! lol >>

<< Hey Steve (Wings Fan), show us a pic of yourself! >>

LOL I was watching my "Dark Shadows" (They just made a man called Adam who from his appearence I don'th think his potty trained!!) and I saw the commercial. I made sure to pause it at that scene and after watching it twice I finally saw what you're talking about. lol.

I LOVE Steve the Dell guy...he looks like my nephew!!!!After reading this post I watched that commercial with a keen eye,and he does indeed look like he's shootin the finger!!!I even posed myself in a "hold your chin and think"position and the index finger should be the one you rest your chin on,not the middle....so he is slyly shootin the bird!Very funny!!!!!

That's funny. I hadn't noticed this before, mainly because I've never actually watched the commercial all the way through, just sort of in passing! But I will definitely take notice the next time I see it on tv, unless the censors figure it out and ban the commercial!!! :lol:

For those of you who are interested Steven's real name is Ben Curtis. He is 21 years old and was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee. His father is an Episcopal Minister. He attends New York University and is an aspiring actor. (I got this info online) Since doing the Dell Commercials their sales have really boosted. I can see why. There's something appealing about these ads.(and Steven) My husband and I love them! I think my next computer will be a Dell, Dude!:lol:

I have no interest whatsoever in all these so-called "hot guys" and I too feel a bit left out in these situations.
