You Wish, Microsoft.

OMFG, some "creative" out there is being paid for this?? Microsoft must be even more gullible than their customers. Other than the fact that I have already laughed my arse off several times, there'd the be sound of my buttocks hitting the ground sometime after they sing "gotta get me some."

Did no one involved in this see the sales douche celebrating his bank's merger to the tune of U2's "One?"

Even if they missed that. I'm stunned. I can't process this. I keep thinking it's still April 1st. Or maybe this is really a crappy SNL bit with people I don't recognize.

I don't throw the following word around lightly (thanks to some enlightening pro bono work) but the people responsible for this are FUCKING RETARDED.

Dammit, that's actually more of an insult to the courageous people with mental retardation.

Only a monopoly would be able to create this kind of propaganda and still exist.

This IS retarded, but great in its own way. I love how such a huge corporation can be so smart and naive simultaneously. And I can't say that it sucks more than the promotions they did for XP that had people floating all over the world with Madonna playing in the background.

Hey Nik: you better not be shitting on that one Butterfly spot where he's playing gatekeeper on a woman's porch and he gets really wants to let the Baklava salesguy in. I don't care if that was Microsoft, that was hilarious.

Everyone loves Baklava. Damn right.

1999? Gawd, I'm having an 80's flashback. Awful. Just awful. But in that must-see sort of way...

I burst out laughing at your tags, Angela ...

Brands, Strange, Video, Worst

You think that's bad? You should have seen the crap being sent out by the Orville brand team during the deadenbacher days. We saw things like, Orville is seeing never before seen PR impressions. Kool-Aid, due.

DAMN...shivers running up my spine!
I'm the bulls-eye in the demographics tageting! woohoo(can I still say that or is it protected by that bank...;P)!!

First time I saw BS was in a timeofpeaceandlovefilledsummers ..before he organized the band we all know him for... at a High School gym summer concert in '69..where the wndowpaneacidwaspassedaround and wound up being passed along to the stage crew,,, and on up to the musicians...the concert went six hours before the local police shut off the power....

*sigh* sadly Dr.Tim and Rosemary had car trouble in Milbrook and didn't make it to the show. ;(

Not sure which is less well received, vista or this video promoting it...uggh.

Pat: I'm referring to this XP ad: http://youtube.com/watch?v=o3GPrA-mtSs

The old butterfly ads for MSN are a whole other enchilada.

Yes, it's a pity that this isn't restrained and reasonable like all the other sales films I've ever seen.
