I dunno. Token black guy sold it for me!

I’m at 48 seconds and I’m ready to claw my eyes out. Update soon if I can see….

This is criminal, and you are a bad person for sharing.

“Of course the first thing you want to do is install…uh, a couple of days in advance of the party.”

Yeah. That way you can use the party to focus on errors and crippling incompatibilities rather than the hours of prompts and loading leading up to the errors and crippling incompatibilities.

Would have been amusing if after they finished with the incredibly fake enthusiasm….
the swingers showed up.

What a terrible image.

Your cruelty and sadism knows no bounds lum

Definitely wins an award for most appallingly gratuitous use of shaky-cam.

I mostly watched the oven clock for the lolz.

I just wanted to thank Ravious for making that video entertaining.

Is installing Linux a valid activity? Or should I hold off on that until we just leave the computer running for anyone to mess with?

The sound on my laptop is flaky, so I’m watching this muted while the radio’s on.
So, muted, my guess is that the people are ‘the son’, ‘the grandmother’, ‘the mother’ and ‘the father’, and the reason for all of the difficulties is that the grandmother doesn’t really approve of mixed marriages but she’s trying to be supportive of her misguided daughter. Is reality somehow worse?

The entire thing is code for setting up orgies.

This is what happens when corporate marketing drones say “Let’s do something viral.”

The only viral those guys need is Ebola.

“Sweet jebus, who the hell at microsoft thought that was a good idea?”

Probably the same shrewd people in the marketing department who gave us the Project Natal video.

Perhaps the only reason why Microsoft is being let off the hook for this is because Google has really been working really hard to replace it as Sinister Mastermind Bent On World Domination.

I hope that the only reason for that Microsoft video to exist was to power the remix.

It occurs to me that one way to get a video to go viral is to make it so bad that everyone has to talk about how bad it is. And even if everyone is making fun of how bad it is, they’re still talking about it.

In a way, this is brilliant.

I really don’t understand…
Is Microsoft trying to get people to host parties to promote windows 7?

I think the idea is that they’re scared people will be alienated by Windows 7, so it’s like:

“Wouldn’t it be great if people hosted Windows 7 parties to orient themselves with our product?”
“No, Steve, that’s a stupid idea.”
“Do you have any better idea?”
“… Alright, fine, we’ll roll with it.”

Haha, I got approved for this, I was sorta looking forward to it. Maybe our first activity will be to *beep* and then *beeeeeppp*

can’t argue with 9 free copies of Win7 Ultimate for your friends though. Who said Windows was expensive, fuck Apple. Oh wait, *beep* Apple.

@Zuzax: Maybe they just assumed that those dirty Chinese weren’t going to buy it anyway.

That… What…?

i will never understand what goes through the minds of a marketing department.

Damn, I never have seen so many plastic food in one place. Well, it can be argued that even Proyect Natal was less plastic than this.

Also, that commercial isn’t cringe worthy if you take in account that is oriented to people that do suburban orgies. Why Microsoft wanted to take them as a market, I have no idea.

And my idea is that, from right to left:

*The shy nerd with a crush to a middle age woman.
*The alcoholic grandma abandoned in an asylum.
*The daughter, that is bored of a suburban existence.
*The black guy that is having an affair with the daughter (giving the daughter her daily supply of big, black cock).

I also kept expecting someone to look at the camera and say “Look guys, these parties are mandatory, so just follow our example and get through it as easily as possible.”

Thanks to Ravious, it’s much more fun to watch. That 6.5 minute video apparently didn’t go as smooth as they thought.
