A dead-on Sarah Palin look-a-like shows up in a Dell ad in the September issue of Forbes magazine.
What's interesting is that print publications like Forbes have a very long lead time, often several months. The Sarah Palin look-a-like appears in a pretty standard shot of an uppity, hard-nosed business woman standing among her cubicle domain with the new Dell/Infatico held tightly against her sexy bosom.
Sarah Palin, I mean her look-a-like, snorts, "I WANT" and I fall to my knees begging for mercy. (In my dreams)
