There are endless possibilities without resorting to "ass whoopin" and "rhymes with hell" and the rest of that juvenile crap. They can give the reader credit for a little intelligence.

Make the ad copy a simple chart with two rows of numbers, Sun and Dell, with the last number in each row being the percentage of revenues spent on R&D (or something akin to that) and come up with a clever but non-offensive headline. Not hard to do.

Certainly, they have to make people know the numbers. But not McNealy style. True or false: fewer people (that is, people who make buying decisions, not slashdot readers) see the numbers when the ads containing them are turned down by large-circulation business dailies?
